| UlicniTrkac:
well I've been busy today. Here's what I came up with. Its not finished yet (I still await that belt gear in metal so I can set it up) |
| UlicniTrkac:
I'm just wondering should I change the 6A fuse for a stronger or a weaker one, for this motor? |
| Bluechip:
IIRC the KB controller puts out some 180V so with a 550W motor that means a nominal 3A or so. That's not suitable for a motor application, if your 6A is an 'Instant' fuse it seems about right. I would not go any higher. If it tends to blow I would look at a 4 or 5A TD or 'Slo-Blow' before I used any larger rated fuse in it. Motor applications usually have a 'Slo-Blow' fuse in my experience. Dave |

The motor on my lathe is 450W, and I use 3.15A time delay fuses. 3.15A might be a bit low, and I blow a fuse every three or four months (usually when I'm parting off :palm: ), but the fuses are £3 for 10 at an (expensive) local store, and it is a lot quicker and easier to replace one than to fix a fried control board.

thanks fellas, I'll just leave stock 6 A quick fuse then. |
