    Hi,

    I have a problem with the power supply for my gate. All the time the fuse blows and after dismantling it turned out that something on the board burned. I do not know electronics and I wonder if this power supply can be replaced with another one? Alternatively, where could it be repaired in Wrocław? I found such a topic: https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic3348035.html but there is a 120W power supply and I have 250W on the housing so it probably won't fit.

    Can anyone help? The original power supply costs PLN 500, so it is more profitable to buy the whole engine (some less emergency company).

    From what you can see it is a damaged NTC thermistor, the system to be replaced (damage but you can not see which system it is). Bridge to check and two transistors or voltage regulators. Not to mention the reading of the value of resistors in the IC area (sealed). Are there any visible damage from the other side of the laminate?

    Would any of these power supplies match my driver?

    Thanks for the answer. On the other hand it looks good

    One thing is that some of the elements have evaporated and the other is that I don't know if I can fix it even if I know what to replace. That's why I'm looking for a power supply that fits.

    The system is IRS2153D.
    I myself have the same controller in the workshop.
    Are the two elements marked 27E under the system resistors ??
    For me they are slightly differently marked (2742), if the resistors are what value they should have. I have both 58 k? ??

    And you can know what voltage and current gives this power supply? I would like to buy a replacement but I don't know what parameters it should have and how you have it working in the workshop I would be grateful for such information.

    The voltage is 12V. I didn't check the current because I have the controller in the workshop. Should have been checked with the engine.

    Is there any chance that you will have this power supply available and you could check the parameters? I am thinking about something like https://botland.com.pl/zasilacze-montazowe/66...-i-paskow-led-12v-15a-180w-5901890001915.html

    Will you fit this replacement in the housing?
    If you have a good transformer then repairing what is should not be expensive.

    I will look for something that will fit or something will change. When it comes to repair, I can't do it myself. I took to a friend who repairs such things but said that he does not know what was there before (missing items) and will not fix it. In addition, a new power supply (replacement) is about PLN 60, probably not profitable with the old one because you do not know what else went except what you see.

    Hello. How did you solve the replacement of the moovo MCI1 module power supply? Thank you for your help. Jiri

    Hi. I bought a waterproof external power supply for LED lamps. It ran for 1.5 years and strange things started to happen. The power supply was hanging and gave no voltage until I disconnected it from the power supply for 15 minutes. I gave up on this drive and installed the FAAC 740. It's a nice change for the better. I do not know how this drive will work in the long term because I have it for 2 weeks so far. But when it comes to, for example, range or connectivity, it is incomparably better.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around a malfunctioning power supply for a Moovo MCI1 gate system, specifically a 250W board that has burnt out, causing fuses to blow. The user seeks alternatives for replacement or repair options in Wrocław. Suggestions include examining the damaged components, such as the NTC thermistor and resistors, and considering external power supplies, including waterproof options. Some users recommend switching to a different brand, such as FAAC, after experiencing issues with a previously purchased external power supply. The voltage requirement for the power supply is confirmed to be 12V, with discussions on the feasibility of repairs versus replacements.

FAQ

TL;DR: Moovo MCI1 runs on 12 V; "The voltage is 12V." Use a properly sized 12 V supply, not 120 W if the drive label shows 250 W. [Elektroda, Samuraj, post #17238703]

Why it matters:** This FAQ helps DIY gate owners decide between repair, like replacing a burnt NTC/IC, or choosing a safe external 12 V PSU replacement.

Quick Facts

What are the correct power specs for a Moovo MCI1 gate controller?

Users reported a 12 V system with a 250 W designation on the drive. Size any replacement around 12 V and up to 250 W. This aligns your PSU with the controller and motor demands, reducing brownouts and fuse trips. [Elektroda, skoczo, post #17246119]

Can I use a 120 W LED power supply as a replacement?

If your drive label shows 12 V / 250 W, a 120 W unit is undersized. Underspec supplies overheat or shut down under load. Choose a 12 V PSU with headroom toward the observed 250 W figure to ensure stable starts and motion. [Elektroda, skoczo, post #17246119]

What typically burns on the MCI1 power board?

A damaged NTC thermistor is often visible. Also check the bridge rectifier, two transistors or regulators, and resistors around the controller IC area. Heat and surge stress concentrate here, causing repeated fuse blows. Inspect both PCB sides before powering again. [Elektroda, antek124, post #16933477]

Which PWM/driver IC does the board use?

The controller IC noted by a repairer is IRS2153D. Match this exact part when ordering replacements. Verify pinout and package before soldering, and examine nearby startup and timing components for collateral damage. [Elektroda, Samuraj, post #17225111]

What do the parts marked “27E” under the IC look like?

A user asked about two elements marked 27E beneath the IC and mentioned differently marked parts (2742) with measured values near 58 kΩ. Treat them as resistors in the IC network and verify values against your board. [Elektroda, Samuraj, post #17225111]

How do I quickly triage a blown MCI1 supply?

  1. Visually inspect and replace a cracked or charred NTC at the AC input.
  2. Test the bridge rectifier for shorts; then check two series pass devices or regulators.
  3. Measure resistors around the IC area and replace any heat-damaged parts. Follow with an isolated, current-limited power-up. [Elektroda, antek124, post #16933477]

What voltage should I buy if I’m sourcing a third‑party PSU?

Use 12 V output. As one repairer put it, “The voltage is 12V.” Confirm your drive’s wattage label to size current capacity appropriately before purchase. [Elektroda, Samuraj, post #17238703]

Will a DIN‑rail 120 W 12 V unit fit inside the MCI1 housing?

One owner couldn’t fit any internal replacement and went external instead. Space is tight in the original enclosure. Plan for an external, sealed PSU if your chosen model exceeds the available footprint. [Elektroda, skoczo, post #17246119]

Is an external waterproof LED PSU a reliable long‑term fix?

It can work but watch for latch‑ups. An IP67 12 V external supply ran ~1.5 years, then hung until disconnected for 15 minutes. Heat, duty cycle, and environment affect longevity. Consider higher‑quality models if going external. [Elektroda, skoczo, post #19062710]

What did users ultimately switch to when tired of repairs?

One user replaced the Moovo drive with a FAAC 740. They reported better range and connectivity within two weeks of use. Brand swaps can cut troubleshooting time when repeated PSU faults appear. [Elektroda, skoczo, post #19062710]

What is an NTC thermistor and why does it burn?

An NTC thermistor limits inrush current at power‑on. It runs hot during surges and can crack or burn after stress. In this case, a visibly damaged NTC was identified near other primary‑side parts. Replace it before further testing. [Elektroda, antek124, post #16933477]

How much does an original Moovo MCI1 power supply cost to replace?

A user reported PLN 500 for an original PSU. That cost drove consideration of third‑party supplies or a full drive replacement. Compare total repair costs with new operator kits before deciding. [Elektroda, skoczo, post #16933122]

Should I prioritize fixing the transformer or the electronics?

If the transformer is good, board repair remains cost‑effective. Focus on the input stage and control IC region first, then re‑evaluate. A working transformer lowers parts cost and complexity. [Elektroda, Samuraj, post #17239012]

What’s the safest way to size current for a 12 V replacement?

Size to the observed 250 W label when present. For 12 V, that implies around 20–21 A peak capacity to avoid shutdowns. Add headroom for startup surges and environmental heat. [Elektroda, skoczo, post #17246119]
