Any suggestions on what to look at?-TM


Which 10EE? There are at least three types, maybe four.

The first three with the same DC spindle motor

1) The old motor-generator style.

2) The type with tube electronics.

3) The type with sold-state electronics

The next one a factory retrofit

4) Three phase spindle motor with VFD controlling the spindle
motor.

I suspect that yours is (2) above -- and perhaps a burnt out
tube results in an unbalanced current draw, and triggers an overcurrent
as soon as the remaining tube filaments heat up. (Or, there could be a
thermal delay relay which waits until the filaments are expected to heat
up, and then switches on the DC power -- which could trip an overcurrent
sensor if there is a bad tube.

But it could be in any of them -- just less likely for me to
think of what is the probable mechanism.

More information likely from people who actually own such
machines. I just wish that I owned one. :-)

Good Luck,
DoN.


However..you only want ..seriously...#3

Maybe #1...but definately NOT #2

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
