Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies

Thanks for the advise guys. I've already gor shielded cable I'm using SY cable that should do it also in regards to EMI filter I've bought a small RS 20A EMI filter would that cut it or do you think I need a different type?

Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies

Thank you. Since plugs are 30Amp that are used for large appliances maybe the 32A I have will be more better I plan to fuse each component anyway. In regards to vfd input since that side is AC would a 16A AC contact with a 18Amp thermal relay be ok to use or would you use the thermal overload on som...

Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies

The machine will not be moved so I wanted to keep it from the plug sockets due to surges. I ran my old cnc machine off a nano v3 control board connected to my pc and it was a simple set up. Now I have to do, Enclosure, 3kw huanyang vfd, 3kw spindle, Pc cooling system for spindle, 4 350-60v PSUs, 4 n...

Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies

I understand where you are coming from, al.ost all have one circuit or power supply. The PSUs were supplied with the kit. My plan over time is to swap out the Chinese stuff for British or German made parts. I only thought two power supplies made sense I'm OK at electrics but with the spindle and vfd...

Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies

Hello, I have two circuits in my enclosure 1 is 240vac at 20A and the other is 240vac with 16A. I'm putting my vfd and spindle on the 16A and my controller, drives etc on the other. My question is this... I have my rcd box and I've used two mcb's connected them up to two double pole mcb's in my encl...

Re: Centroid acorn router machine build

Hi mate, I want to put a ldr schneider contact with a thermal overload relay at the input power AC side of the vfd. My question is how do I get that relay to also pause and freeze all systems motors, vfd, control board. I also want it setup as an Estop. What do I need to set this up with the centroi...

Re: Centroid acorn router machine build

Ye maybe sometimes I may need everything on but like I said there's 3 circuits from an 40A RCD box and the 3kw vfd and 3kw spindle is on a single 16A circuit to the RCD box. Do you not think 16A will be good enough for that? Do you think it would be better doing 20A for the vfd and spindle circuit? ...
