UGM Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Looking at the pics of them on EBay they appear to be 110v. The plugs on them are definitely 110v plugs. Baring in mind that health and safety law for electrical equipment on building sites is 110v only I would imagine that for mains clay traps it would be the same. Did you connect them to the type of yellow box that was posted earlier? Or did you connect them directly to the 240v mains? If you connected them to the 240v mains and by the description of the motors burning out then it is likely that is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 They are 240v traps the 110v sockets connect to a control box.I connected them upto the control box as per instructed by the seller.so they weren't connected up wrong !!!!

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 You have stated that the original seller has offered to come and look at them for you; Has he been yet? If and when he does visit, will you be asking him for a complete refund, removal of the unusable equipment and to cover your costs for the collection?

The seller sounds like a muppet though. What make and model are the traps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGM Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Did you check the motor plates as already suggested to see the correct voltage for yourself? Or did you just go by what the seller instructed? After all he has now said he never tested them so he's hardly able to instruct you to set them up if he has never done it himself. Even if there is a control box that the traps connect to I find it strange that they use 110v plugs rather than some other form of smaller easier to use connection. Or if they definitely are 240v then why not have the blue 240v round plugs which are from first appearances identical to those yellow ones but only blue. These are assumptions and questions based on my trade as a Qualified Electrician. There could be a 110v transformer built in to the control box, I assume that it must be quite large if that's the size of plugs its taking. And would imagine it to have a bit of weight about it if there was a transformer inside. IF and I say IF you could get the other 6 working you could possibly get them and half your money back. As I don't see you getting 6 traps for that kind of price elsewhere. Although if it was me I would probably walk away and look elsewhere.

UGM Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 From a quick google search most trap manufacturers produce 12V, 110V, 220V and even 400V traps. 110V would easily be quite common as not only would it likely meet health and safety requirements here but its the standard voltage of North America.

aris Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 One has to wonder why someone would have 110v traps in the UK - unless they imported them cheap maybe were running them off a battery with a 110v inverter - or on a construction site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aris Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) If you got 11 traps as per your picture for 800 pounds - even if you spend a bit fixing/servicing them, giving them a good clean and a lick of paint, I still think you will have done well.

Guest Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Out of interest what capacity are the traps. I'd say looking at them about 70 clays each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Are they all single stack? That could/would mean a lot of reloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrapFiller Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I was very skeptical at first about your comment, but then your username put my mind at ease. I do it every Sunday and one compak can run a single down about half way and depending on the shooters thy can be very quick. That's why we stopped using single traps on the compak and altogether.

bakerboy Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Hi billy I'm negotiating with seller at moment or it goes to court In the meantime Peter, why not ask "Alan"hitclays" to organise a shoot on your land. This could be beneficial in two ways! One the Herts and local area shooters will have a good day out, Two you could learn a lot from an real expert for the future.
