The 2.2Kw Chinese Spindles - Info, Setup and Advice + More

[Leadhead]

My beloved sparky fell off his perch. In our 40+ years of acquaintance I did not pay sufficient attention and now I am paying the price. - I can hear him laughing down at me, with his never to be forgotten sense of humor.
So I am prostrate requesting some assistance wiring a new 2.2 spindle.
Just need to check. At the spindle end I have wired the cable cap 1,2,3, E. The fixed terminals on the spindle I believe need to be opened from the 4 screws and the earth connection made, to the underside of one of those screws??
Shielding at that end is twisted into three strands and fed back out of the cable cap. - The other end of the shielding at the VFD end is then twisted and grounded?

Please help me get up from the prostrate position as the wife is getting annoyed about hoovering round me!

Have you checked to see the the 4th pin is connected to the case of the spindle (some are and some not).

You can remove the 4 screws from the socket and gently pull the socket upwards about 25mm then solder a wire onto pin 4 and pass it back up through one of the bolt holes and and then put the socket back down bolted with the 3 bolts with the new wire under the head of one of them.

I would rather do it this way than take the whole cap of the spindle
