Imer Combi Saws Power Supply
Features
- Replacement 110V power supply
Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply is a genuine IMER electrical replacement component designed to deliver safe, reliable 120V power to Combi 200VA, Combi 250VA, and Combi 250/1000VA tile and stone saws. This OEM power supply assembly (often sold under IMER code 3228251) ensures your Combi tile saw receives the correct voltage and current for its 1.75 HP direct‑drive motor and water pump, helping maintain cutting performance, motor life, and electrical safety on every job.
What Is the Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply?
The Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply is listed by Contractors Direct as “3228251 Imer Combi Power Supply,” described as an OEM power supply unit for IMER Combi series tile saws. While the listing does not show a full exploded view, IMER manuals and parts diagrams for the Combi 200VA, 250VA, and 250/1000VA clarify how the power supply fits into the machines’ electrical systems:
-
It is part of the electric panel or junction box assembly that distributes 115–120V power to:
In practice, “Combi Tile Saw Power Supply” for these saws refers to the IMER‑engineered power entry and distribution assembly, not an external transformer. It’s the internal power module that conditions and routes mains power safely to the motor and pump according to IMER’s electrical design.
Electrical Requirements of IMER Combi Tile Saws
Understanding the Combi Tile Saw Power Supply starts with the electrical specs of the saws it supports.
Combi 200VA (North American version)
TileTools and Contractors Direct list the Combi 200VA rail saw with the following key specs:
-
Motor: Direct drive – 1.75 HP.
-
Voltage: 120V (115V nominal in IMER manual).
-
RPM: 2,800–3,400 rpm (IMER manual lists 0.7 kW, 115V, 11.6A at 60Hz).
The official IMER Combi 200 VA manual states:
-
Rated voltage: 115 V.
-
Frequency: 60 Hz.
-
Absorbed current: 11.6 A.
-
Power (kW): 0.7.
Combi 250VA and Combi 250/1000VA
For the Combi 250VA and its extended‑table variants, IMER lists:
-
Motor power: 1.3 kW (about 1.75 HP) at 115V/60Hz.
-
Absorbed current: 14.4 A at 115V.
The Combi 250 VA North American manual specifies:
-
Rated voltage: 115 V.
-
Frequency: 60 Hz.
-
Absorbed current: 14.4 A.
The Combi 250/1000VA and 250/1500VA manual repeats the same 14.4A at 115V, and gives guidance for power supply line sizing (1.5–4.0 mm² cable depending on length).
The Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply is engineered to deliver this 115–120V, 60Hz power and handle these current loads safely and efficiently.
What the Power Supply Assembly Typically Includes
While “power supply” can mean different things in different contexts, on IMER Combi tile saws it generally involves the incoming power and distribution components inside the electric panel:
-
Power entry and plug connection
-
The saw’s cord and plug connect to the mains.
-
The power supply includes a junction box and strain relief to protect connections.
-
-
Internal wiring and terminals
-
Phase (L1), neutral (N), and earth (PE) lines routed to motors and controls.
-
Proper gauge wiring sized for 11.6–14.4A loads and cable lengths per IMER’s tables.
-
-
Protection and control devices
The IMER Combi 200 VA manual’s electric panel diagram (TAV. 5) shows the junction box, gasket, cover, contactor, circuit breaker, and associated wiring. The Combi 250 VA and Combi 250/1000 VA manuals include similar electric panel diagrams.
An OEM Combi Tile Saw Power Supply replacement part (3228251) is typically the pre‑wired IMER power entry / panel assembly built to these specifications.
Why You Might Need a New Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply
Common reasons to replace the Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply include:
-
Electrical damage
-
Overloads, surges, or short circuits damaging the electric panel components.
-
-
Water ingress
-
If the junction box or power entry assembly loses its gasket seal, water from the pan or spray can enter and corrode connections.
-
-
Physical damage
-
Impact, mishandling, or shipping damage to the panel or cord entry.
-
-
Persistent electrical faults
-
Repeated tripping, failure to start, or intermittent power that persists even after checking the motor and pump.
-
In such cases, replacing the entire OEM power supply assembly rather than trying to repair individual components may be the safest and most reliable solution.
Benefits of OEM Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply
Using the genuine Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply offers several advantages over trying to jury‑rig a repair:
-
Correct voltage and current handling
-
Designed specifically for 115–120V, 60Hz, and the actual load of 11.6–14.4A as per Combi 200/250 VA specs.
-
-
Built‑in protection
-
Safe, code‑compliant connections
-
Meets IMER’s requirements for cable sizing, grounding (earthing), and over‑current protection described in the manuals.
-
-
Plug‑and‑play compatibility
-
Matches the saw’s electric panel and wiring diagram, simplifying installation and reducing the risk of miswiring.
-
Trying to substitute generic parts for such a critical section of the electrical system can easily lead to poor performance, unsafe conditions, or voided warranties.
Power Supply and Extension Cord Requirements
IMER manuals for Combi tile saws also emphasize that the external power supply and cable selection are just as important as the internal panel:
-
For Combi 200 VA (11.6A at 115V), cable sizing should be based on length to avoid excessive voltage drop.
-
For Combi 250 VA and Combi 250/1000 VA (14.4A at 115V), IMER provides a table indicating:
-
Cable lengths 0–12 m: 1.5 mm².
-
13–20 m: 2.5 mm².
-
21–32 m: 4.0 mm².
-
They also specify:
-
The power supply line must have current overload protection (e.g., thermal cutout) and protection against indirect contact (residual current circuit breaker).
-
The machine must be connected to an efficient earthing system.
Even with a perfect OEM power supply assembly, ignoring these external cable and breaker requirements can cause poor performance or hazards.
Relationship to Combi Tile Saw Motors
StoneTooling notes that the Imer Combi Tile Saw Motor for 200VA/250VA/250‑1000VA is a 1.75 HP 120V motor “designed for standard 120V power supply.” The power supply assembly and motor are closely matched:
-
The motor’s running and starting currents dictate the breaker and wiring specs.
-
The capacitor and wiring in the power supply are sized and routed based on motor requirements.
Replacing a motor without ensuring the power supply is healthy—or vice versa—can lead to premature failure or sub‑par performance.
Basic Steps for Replacing the Combi Tile Saw Power Supply
Exact instructions are in IMER manuals, but the general process to install a new Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply (3228251) is:
-
Disconnect power
-
Unplug the saw, and if hard‑wired, lockout/tagout the circuit.
-
-
Access the electric panel
-
Remove the cover of the junction box / electric panel shown in the manual diagrams.
-
-
Document existing wiring
-
Remove the old power supply components
-
Disconnect wires, remove the old junction box or panel assembly as needed.
-
-
Install the new OEM power supply
-
Mount the new junction box or panel and connect wires per IMER’s wiring diagram, ensuring proper grounding and strain relief.
-
-
Test operation
-
Reconnect to a properly protected 115–120V supply.
-
Test blade motor and pump operation, checking for correct rotation, smooth start, and no nuisance tripping.
-
Because this involves mains voltage and critical safety circuits, IMER strongly recommends that repairs to the electrical installation be performed exclusively by specialized personnel.
Why the Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply Matters
The Imer Combi Tile Saw Power Supply is not just another spare part—it is the heart of the saw’s electrical system, ensuring that your Combi 200VA, 250VA, or 250/1000VA receives the correct 120V power, with appropriate overload protection and safe distribution to the motor and pump.
For professional tile and stone installers who depend on their Combi saws for precision cutting, replacing a compromised or damaged power supply with the genuine IMER assembly:
