Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies
You don't have to house the VFD in a separate cabinet. You DO have to employ good practices. Very well stated Tom. I see so many problem builds where builders use unshielded cable everywhere and wonder why they have noise. I also put my VFD in the same cabinet as the rest of the system. If the syst...

Re: Server motorsport run after update of CNC 12
..... I did not expect to have to go into "DB 25 connector - mapping" to activate the screw terminals. For now all is well, I seem to love overcome this hurdle, and i'm ready for the next. Thanks for your help. Steve I agree Steve, I've had a few customers get confused by this page title ...

Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies
It's highly doubtful that your 3KW spindle/VFD package will draw anywhere near what you are thinking. We or should I say "I" cannot suggest a circuit breaker size for you, this is something you'll have to calculate from your components. It's also not advisable to have your dedicated CNC PC...

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

Re: New Build Steel Frame Router
Are those high quality couplers or an Amazon special? I use Ruland couplers for all my couplings.

Re: Help on isolation switch fit two circuits/power supplies
Can I ask the simple question of "why" are you doing this?
