The enforced time off has lead to much garage tidying and there were a couple of jobs for the lathe to do. It is a Warco 220 that had a ABB ACS200 fitted before my ownership. It was working perfectly. Today, no motor running. I have flicked through the menu on the inverter and looked at the manual, all as clear as mud!

Is there a set of standard settings that should be set to get started? Output frequency say 0.0 Hz and output voltage is saying 0v . My working theory is that there is a ‘memory battery’ that has failed and it has forgotten it’s settings.

All help / hints appreciated!

Thanks for the above, lots to think about and experiment with.

I will come back with questions as they occur !

Regards and stay safe!

Would you be willing to expand on your methods for the rings and perhaps indicate a source for the ring blanks.

Your results are spectacular and encourage experimentation!

Nathan....tell us more about the project!

Re brittle strimmer cord, I moaned at my local mower repair place about the short life of coils of strimmer cord. They recommended storing in an ice cream tub in water. Seems to help but of course it soon dries out when left on the strimmer.

And if using as a penertrating oil I mix it with acetone.

Also found ATF mixed with acetone is good, but you have to keep it shaken as it separates.

I too was thinking that although the motor was CAPABLE of 2HP that is a factor of the load imposed upon it. Thus use correctly wired, and just be aware that if too high a load is placed on the drive train, your motor will go over the 1HP ideal!

I would try Proxxon. Recent experience is that they are helpful. Sent me a part for free, very satisfied.
