Hi,
My Funhouse has a habit of tripping the house safety switch when I switch it on. It doesn't do it all the time and when I reset the safety switch at the fuse box it usually turns on fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Sounds like maybe a thermistor issue? I know Funhouse is WPC and not System 11 but symptoms sound similar.

Alternatively there may just be too much load on the circuit?

Thanks so much for your reply, I really appreciate it... that sounds like the issue I'm having.

I had the same issue with my WCS (should have had a thermistor but didn't). Installing one fixed it up.

There seem to be a few different types of thermistors to fix the fuse issue.
Is this the correct part;

Thermistor,NTC,5,0Ohm,5,0A?? Our electricity supply is 240volt.

Replaced the line filter, not the problem. Then replaced the thermistor and varistor and it's good now. Fuses fine, nothing burnt out on or near circuit board, no loose wires that I can see.

What thermistor did you use? I have the same problem with a whirlwind.

Thanks for your answer. I have read the article before my question. Great plain electronics sells ntc thermistor 2,5 ohm 8,4 A alternate for cl 30 as used by williams... I dont know if this is only for use in the USA (110 Volts) because line fuse there is 8 A slow blow. In Europe line fuse is 4 A so my question is if ntc thermistor should be 5 ohms 5 A or something else?

In the 230volt region, the 5 Ohm works fine.

http://www.flipperwinkel.nl/winkel/contents/nl/d114.html#p276 at the bottom of the page is a 4,7Ohm NTC
