I built my machine over 2 yrs ago .. been running 24/7/364 since then (ok , maybe 20 hrs a day :) ) ... the cable I used was salvaged hover mower cable 2 core ... two runs per motor ... connected with chocolate block type connectors .. have had no problems what so ever :)
this is what I started with .. skip dive build :)
this is the running machine
absloutely no problems what so ever with wiring connections :)

Hi irving2008
Thanks for the post on this. I have used 2.5mm2 4-core SY cable for connecting up my 2.2kw spindle to the VFD. Got an offcut from Premier Cables really cheaply so I will use them as my first port of call. They sell to large users and they said it's good for them to sell off the offcuts so it reduces the stock taking efforts!

Hey guys, great thread.... I'm now in the position to dismantle the temporary wiring and hard wire everything up. My question is, am I right in say that this is the correct wire to purchase?

That wire will be fine but it is too expensive If you search for it you can buy it for about 70p here is a link http://quickbit.co.uk/Cable/CY-Cable...-0-75mm-4-core but this is not the best cable as Dean will point out when he sees this but I just can't find the link for the better quality cable at this time. I will have another look tomorrow
This is the correct link http://www.csecables.com/acatalog/CY-Cable-4-Core.html ...CliveLast edited by Clive S; 12-10-2014 at 08:16 AM. Reason: Added Link
