Hi Phill

Where about's in Derbyshire are you?

Andy

Just off A38 DE56

Been trying settings on VFD and will run for 1/2 hour at different speeds then trip out with the same error, all cable ends have been remade and are tightly clamped in respective holes, just been told as it's never been used for about a year it might need charging? anyone know how to charge and if it does need too and could this be the reason why it won't run longer.

Hi Phill

If you can't sort it I can have a ride over and have a quick look at it with you.

As for the charging I have no clue what they are on about other than they may be talking about the large capacitors on the board which if they are I have never heard of that before!

Send me a pm if you want any help with your phone number and I will give you a call.

Regards

Phill,
I hadn't picked up from your posts that it would run for a while before faulting again, I read it as though it would not work at all. The capacitor issue is called 'forming' or in this case 'reforming' it's always been an issue for quality stereo system amplifiers too.
Have a read at this post, I put a link in there about it.
