CE Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full CE product range. Below are the major product families we service.
CE Soft Starters (CombiStarter, ProStart)
Soft starters for AC motors reducing inrush current and mechanical stress. Common faults include thyristor failures, control board malfunctions, capacitor degradation, and firmware corruption. Synchronics handles complete soft starter overhauls and field testing.
CE Motor Starters and Contactors
Compact contactor units and electromechanical starters for direct-on-line motor control. Typical issues include coil burnouts, contact erosion, welding of contacts, and mechanical jamming. Synchronics refurbishes and tests all contactor variants.
CE Distributed I/O and Control Modules
Modular digital and analog input/output cards for decentralised automation and PLC interfacing. Faults include input card failures, relay output failures, analog signal conditioning errors, and connector corrosion. Synchronics provides module-level diagnostics and replacement.
CE Control Panels and Junction Boxes
Pre-configured control enclosures and industrial junction systems for distributed automation. Common issues include internal wiring faults, terminal block oxidation, fan motor failures, and internal condensation damage. Synchronics offers full panel testing and internal component replacement.
CE Communication Gateways and Interfaces
Industrial communication modules for Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet, and legacy serial protocols. Faults include port failures, protocol stack errors, connector pin corrosion, and firmware version mismatches. Synchronics restores communication functionality and provides compatibility testing.
CE Emergency Stop and Safety Relays
Safety-rated relay modules and E-stop circuit boards for industrial machinery emergency shutdown systems. Common failures include relay coil degradation, safety contact chatter, PCB trace cracking, and solenoid mechanism stiction. Synchronics provides safety-certified repair with documentation.
Why Choose Synchronics for CE Repairs?
PCB-Level Expertise
We repair down to the component level — not just swap boards. Our engineers identify root causes, replace failed IGBTs, capacitors, processors, and gate drivers on CE equipment.

Standard 7–10 working days. Express 3–5 days available for critical breakdowns. Emergency same-day/next-day service for unplanned downtime.
6-Month Warranty
Every repaired unit ships with a 6-month comprehensive warranty on parts and labour. Our repair success rate is over 94% across all brands.
All-India Service
Couriered repairs accepted from any city in India. Doorstep pickup available in Vadodara, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Chennai, and more.
Common CE Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in CE equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Soft starter thyristor short circuit failure — Thermal overstress during motor starting or phase unbalance causes thyristor junction breakdown and direct short across power terminals. Common in poorly filtered supplies or undersized starters.
- ✓Control board capacitor dry-out and voltage collapse — Electrolytic capacitors in CE control boards age faster in Indian heat and humidity, losing capacitance and increasing ESR. This causes logic supply voltage sag, microprocessor resets, and erratic motor control.
- ✓Contactor coil winding open circuit or insulation breakdown — Vibration fatigue, moisture ingress, or sustained over-voltage (from transient spikes on motor feeder) causes coil insulation failure or winding wire fracture. Coil resistance drops to zero or becomes very high.
- ✓Digital input card channel dropout or false triggering — Connector pin corrosion, broken input diode, or damaged optocoupler in the input isolation stage causes intermittent or stuck sensor signals. Common in dusty textile and cement plants where moisture collects in connectors.
- ✓Modbus gateway communication timeout or protocol frame corruption — Serial port ESD damage, baud rate mismatch, or firmware memory corruption prevents proper communication between CE module and PLC or SCADA system. Frame error counts increase, timeouts occur.
- ✓Safety relay contact welding and nuisance E-stop actuation — High inrush current during safety contactor switching or DC coil surge causes arcing across safety contacts, welding them closed. This defeats emergency stop functionality and creates a safety hazard.

Frequently Asked Questions — CE Repairs
Do you repair CE equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full CE product range — soft starters, motor control units, distributed I/O modules, communication gateways, and safety relays. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Indore, Jaipur, and all other cities. Single facility in Vadodara, Gujarat ensures consistent quality and fast turnaround.
How long does a CE soft starter repair typically take?+
Standard CE soft starter repair (thyristor stack replacement, capacitor overhaul, control board diagnostics) takes 3-5 working days depending on part availability and extent of damage. For emergency breakdowns, Synchronics maintains CE spare thyristor modules and control boards in stock to accelerate repair. Expedited 24-48 hour turnaround is available for critical production equipment. We offer loaner units on request for textile mills and food plants.
What is the warranty on CE equipment repaired by Synchronics?+
All CE repairs carry a 12-month comprehensive warranty covering parts and labour. Warranty covers the repaired component and labour only, excluding wear-and-tear and misuse. For soft starters and motor control units, warranty includes full functionality testing under simulated motor load. Documentation and test certificates are provided with every repair.
Can Synchronics repair CE equipment damaged by voltage surges or lightning strikes?+
Yes. CE soft starters, input modules, and gateway cards are vulnerable to transient overvoltage. Synchronics diagnoses surge damage using megger tests, pin-by-pin diode testing, and component curve tracer analysis. We replace damaged semiconductors, suppress circuits, and protective diodes. If surge damage is widespread, we provide cost-effective refurbished CE units as replacement alternatives. We also recommend installing transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices on future installations in lightning-prone areas.
Does Synchronics repair vintage CE equipment from the 1990s and 2000s?+
Yes. Synchronics maintains a large archive of CE PCB schematics, component datasheets, and firmware versions dating back to 1995. Older CE soft starter generations and contactor modules are regularly repaired. For obsolete components, we source equivalents or re-engineer sub-circuits using modern parts. Turnaround may be longer for vintage units as we test extensively to ensure compatibility with existing plant installations. Indian textile mills and sugar factories often rely on 20+ year old CE equipment, and Synchronics keeps these running cost-effectively.
How do I send my CE unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a CE drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on CE repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your CE unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
