Synchronics specializes in repairing vintage and contemporary Gould electrical systems — motor control centers, solid-state starters, AC drives, DC drives, and power factor correction units. Our 180-engineer team has extensive hands-on experience with Gould's discrete component architectures and proprietary control algorithms. We repair Gould equipment across all Indian industrial sectors, with rapid turnaround and full documentation.
Expert repair of Gould legacy and modern drives, starters, and controllers across India.
GOULD Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full GOULD product range. Below are the major product families we service.
Gould DC Drives (GDE, GDA, GDX series)
Direct current motor drives for precision spindle and roll control in textiles, paper, and printing. Common faults include firing circuit failure, SCR stack degradation, and loss of field regulation causing runaway speed.
Gould AC Drives (Parametra, Encore series)
Three-phase AC variable frequency drives for pump, fan, and compressor applications. Prone to capacitor bank drying, IGBT module solder joint cracking, and control board microprocessor memory corruption.
Gould Motor Starters (MCC, Soft Starters)
Full-voltage and reduced-voltage motor starter systems for industrial machinery. Failures include contactor weld, thermal overload relay drift, and electronic soft-start power module short circuits.
Gould Power Factor Correction Units (PFC, VAR Controllers)
Automatic power factor correction and reactive load management systems. Common issues are capacitor bank discharge faults, contactor coil burnout, and control relay logic board tracking.
Gould Control & Logic Systems (PLC modules, relay panels)
Programmable logic modules and hardwired relay control panels for process automation. Typical failures include EPROM programming corruption, relay socket oxidation, and terminal block loosening.

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 GOULD Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in GOULD equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓SCR gate drive circuit failure in DC drives — Aging of optocoupler components and pulse transformer insulation breakdown in Gould GDE and GDA series DC drives, leading to loss of gate pulse to silicon controlled rectifiers and complete loss of motor control.
- ✓Capacitor bank drying and power supply rail collapse — Electrolytic filter capacitors in Gould AC drive power supplies (Parametra and Encore) age and lose capacitance over 15-20 years of operation, causing DC bus voltage ripple and intermittent drive shutdown.
- ✓IGBT module internal short and thermal runaway — Solder joint fatigue in Gould Parametra AC drive IGBT modules due to thermal cycling and vibration, causing gate-emitter short and uncontrolled current draw leading to module destruction.
- ✓Motor contactor weld and inability to open under fault — Arc erosion and metal transfer on Gould motor starter contactor contacts due to inductive load switching and insufficient arc suppression, causing welding of main contacts.
- ✓Automatic PFC unit capacitor bank discharge failure — Failure of discharge contactor coil in Gould PFC-3000 units, or open resistor network preventing safe capacitor bank bleed-down, leaving live voltage across terminals after system shutdown.
- ✓Relay logic panel contact corrosion and intermittent logic failure — Moisture ingress and oxidation of relay contacts and terminal block connections in Gould control panels, causing intermittent signal loss and erratic process behavior in textile and food processing plants.

Frequently Asked Questions — GOULD Repairs
Do you repair Gould equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full Gould product range — DC drives, AC drives, motor starters, soft starters, PFC units, and control logic systems. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, and all other cities. All repairs are processed at our Vadodara, Gujarat facility with same-day diagnostics and honest repair reports.
My Gould DC drive (GDE-4000) shows erratic speed control and oscillation. What is wrong?+
This typically indicates failure in the gate drive circuit, speed feedback loop, or firing thyristor. Synchronics performs curve tracer analysis of all SCRs, re-measures armature voltage feedback, and tests the opto-isolated gate driver board. Common root cause is aged optocoupler IC. We replace with industrial-grade components and perform full load test before return.
How old is my Gould equipment and can you still repair it?+
Gould equipment installed in Indian plants ranges from 1980s through 2005. Synchronics repairs all vintage Gould drives and controllers using component-level repair methods. We keep stocks of discrete components (SCRs, IGBTs, optocouplers, transformers) and can source obsolete ICs if needed. Age is not a barrier — reliability and safety are our focus.
What is wrong if my Gould motor soft starter sparks and trips on startup?+
Soft-starter failures usually stem from internal power module short-circuit, gate drive fuse failure, or DC bus capacitor degradation causing inrush current spikes. Synchronics tests the power module chain, replaces failed gate drive circuits, and conditions the DC bus. We perform temperature cycling tests and soft-start ramp verification under load.
Can Synchronics rebuild my Gould PFC unit capacitor bank?+
Yes. Synchronics rebuilds Gould PFC-3000 and VAR controller capacitor banks with new industrial-grade capacitors rated for 50+ years life in hot Indian industrial environments. We replace contactors, test discharge circuits, perform reactive load balancing, and certify power factor improvement before dispatch to your facility.
How do I send my GOULD 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 GOULD 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 GOULD 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 GOULD 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.
