The truck had suffered a failure on the primary side of the control circuit VT, we therefore recommended a complete VT replacement.
It was agreed that the truck be returned to LS Engineering Services Ltd, not only to carry out the repair, but also to reverse engineer a vacuum contactor replacement kit, in case of future failures of the other Hawkvac units on the clients switchboard.
LSES therefore replaced the main contactor, VT and associated parts.
When contacting the original equipment manufacturer; we were informed that the Hawkvac 6 is no longer supported and it was confirmed that the majority of parts are now obsolete.
LSES are proud to support our clients with retrofit solutions in order to keep legacy switchboards in a servicable condition.
