Avid CNC tripping breakers?

[jamesfiore]

Looking for some guidance on where to get started. My 4'x2" avid cnc table with nema 34 plug and play electronics lost power while running. It tripped a few breakers as I troubleshot. Is something shorted out? It trips immediately when plugging in. Thanks!

The entire machine is down. Any tips on figuring out a possible short issue?

It's most likely something simple, maybe the power cord input going to ground or something. You are just going to have to look at the wiring.

Post some photos of the wiring we may be able to see something, you say " Breakers" there should only be one main Breaker for your main input power supply to your machine, need some photos to see what you have

It could be a faulty Power supply or your plug cable connections at the spindle

If you have any fusing or other kind of disconnect means on different parts of the machine, try only allowing different sections to initially power up and see it it can be isolated to one power item/device.
