I guess it would be helpful to know what size spindle you'll be running. It must be huge if you think you need a 40A circuit. I have an entire CNC router using Clearpath servos with a small 5HP air cooled spindle on it running on a single 30A breaker using 240 VAC from my panel. Everything runs off ...

These com errors have to be resolved before proceeding, please take the time to follow the details in TB270 a...
