Problem- Shop could have gone up in flames

[Kipper]

GFI=RCD? Maybe the coolant pump which was plugged in backfed through the relay (I say relay when really I like SSR') to the BOB (lot's of acronyms) then shorted out (not necessarily through an optoisolated connection) and fried the mans gear! It sure hurts to fry your gear :yes: How much is a new board? (presuming that's all that's fried)


















Had many drinks during that game sir?



I must buy one of these boards and let my insurance company know....

No specifics or links?

I have a C11G breakout board that I have been using a few months and have had no problems- zero. If there is a problem with any beyond the one mentioned in this thread I would really like to know and find out if there's a work-around or just what needs to be done. From my experience Arturo has been responsive to any questions I have had and I'm sure if there is a problem he would get it fixed.

No Arturo is a good guy, I like his products. Sometimes freaky things happen. Arturo is taking care of me, I e-mailed him last night.

This though now will make me shut off all power too everything.

Al, by sealed enclosure, you mean boxes around various PCB's right? Many will have holes for ventilation, you would want to keep these away from any unwanted flying things. Putting them in the same box with the mill would heighten that risk and any cooling fluid or oil and grease would make the problem worse.

Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to nit pick. I'm a relative newbie (to this) and am just asking for clarification.

Well, that and I'm tired of the little reminder everytime I log in that says I haven't posted for a while. Actually, I'm killing two birds with one stone.

Normally the power supplies,relays, VFD are put in one enclosure and the controller can go in the operator pendant.

Speeds - really sorry to hear. Certainly hope this experience doesn't get you too down; I know we've all appreciated seeing your input on the 'zone so far.

Glad to hear you & your house is OK.

Thanks Tikka- Arturo is taking care of it and as long as I am back running, I'll be good. Also, it's funny because before I started the cleanup, I mounted the second door on my enclosure, WINDOWS will be installed sooner than I thought because of this great idea. And then 20 minutes later, my board goes It was scary and made me nervous. I'm not discouraged, just a little eerie about it.

The best advice is to cut all power when not n use. This also applies when under battery power. Switches and circuit breakers can be life savers. I figured Arturo would do you right. I have ordered lots of things from him and will continue to do so.
Let us know what you do to remedy the issue.
