Just word to let you know that I followed all your recommendations for earth grounding my CNC plasma table. Ground rod with 1.25 ohms resistance. Wall mounted copper buss bar. Tinned copped flat conductors to all servo motors. To make it short. The table works perfectly from the first burn. I read the machines thread's and can't believe the nightmares some these guys are having. Thank you so very much. John Messar
Hey John, thank you for the support, and I'm very happy she's all stable. I realize its more work than most realize, but in the end you proved it certainly is worth it. Thank you again, and have a great weekend! Vince
Another great vid, Vince. Absolutle art work. No one has your passion for perfection. Keep the gereat vids coming. BTW, i got the UC100:PC cable today. Exactly what I needed. Next vid suggestion: Installing an Xbox cointroller to work with Mach3 on a Win 10. (I'm having poor luck today).
Hey Kirk, thank you as always for your support. I really appreciate it. I would recommend using a true CNC MPG then the X-box controller as their prices have dropped to about the same. I'll put it in my upcoming to do list for videos. Thank you, Vince
Hello. I am building a cable that will go from a 5-20 nema plug to a VFD. The VFD manual says to use a latching relay to isolate the VFD from the plug blades for safety, since the discharging capacitors could shock you at the plug blades once it is unplugged. It does not go into much detail as to what type of latching relay I will need. Do you ever use latching relays like this, and if so which latching relays would be appropriate? The cable looks really nice, and I hope I can make my plug better because of your videos, thank you.
Hey Miguel, Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it. I've never had any issue in 20 years with what you're discussing. If you decide to go the route of the users manual you can certainly do that, or just leave the unit plugged for an additional hour to make sure the unit's energy is dissipated. Thank you, and have a great weekend! Vince
Preston, thank you for your support. Soldering carefully has never effected any connector I've used. Keep in mind all circuit boards, and sensitive electronics use it virtually all over. The key is applying it with flux, and precision to keep the heat isolated to the joint, and you'll be fine. Thank you, Vince
Hey John, thank you for your support. I don't offer a premade built cable to power the the VFD as each wall plug is different to my clients preferences. If you contact me about your requirement, and plug type preference I can set you up with a cable. Have a great weekend! Vince

Haha that plug looks familiar great work glad to see how well its wired up, money well spent.
Hey Mike, thank you again for your support. She's certainly ready to bring life to your system. Vince

thought you weren’t supposed to have soldier inside a l6-30 because of the heat ?

Do you sell a premed cable and plug that is already made up
Hey John, thank you for your support. I don't offer a premade built cable to power the the VFD as each wall plug is different to my clients preferences. If you contact me about your requirement, and plug type preference I can set you up with a cable. Have a great weekend!
Vince
What’s the polarity, neutral and live? X and Y or does it not matter?
I'm sorry the connector you select determines its neutral, and live allocation. It certainly matters. Thank you,
Vince
Why not just pigtail off the VFD and replace the cable when its misused? Totally kidding, but you know where this stems from...lol
LoL, yea we've seen that done many times haven't we...:) Thank you again for your support. Vince
