Sounds like the rectifier is shorted. When it shorted out, the energy expended itself by burning through the wire. When you repaired the wire, the shorted rectifier held the excitation voltage down to zero, keeping the unit from building back up. Check the rectifier - you should find that it is shorted. There is a guy on ebay selling replacement kits - p/n 95672. You may have to flash the field after you replace the rectifier - about half the time, a rectifier or capacitor failure will kill the residual magnetism in the rotor.

I have the same unit and same problem.
I have lost my owners manual. Did you figure out what needs to be done to correct the no output issue.
Hi
Lr means locked rotor,
this issue occurs due to locked rotors, you'll need to check the rotor wiring
and motor windings. If the wiring is good and windings are not burnt then
you'll need to replace your motor and motor control board. These are sold as one
unit, it is a 3 phase motor and one of the phases is bad as a little power
surge can damage the boards. Hope
this helps...please post back for further assistance.
