Your Blue Peter badge is winging its way to you as we speak.

I came in to read this thread on the last page.

I wondered where it got derailed beyond all recognition.

You’ve a bizarre idea of fun!

Been on this forum too long.....it has that effect I believe...

Well it has. I wouldn't know what I know now even if it isn't on your level without doing the course. How could any Tom dick and Harry understand the calc procedure without doing the course. I know I wouldn't off. So yes, I believe it has helped me a lot.

Haven't done this kind of work and calculations. That's why I don't have a clue.

Just read through this whole posting.I think this quote here says it all.
You said it yourself

By the way did I mention that I have already connected probably over 10 machines for the same factory. Ranging from 2.5mm cable up to 25mm cable. Some machines are same physical size as this one that I was going to do and they do the same work. The only time they called back was when a machine was tripping. I set overload at 7kw. The motor rating was 7. So I changed the overload to 4-10kw and adjusted it to tiny bit over 7 which fixed the problem. All this was done over the last 5-6 years. I've also done conveyer belts. Forklift chargers. A few of the bigger machines I've done cost them around a million each.

I thought you said earlier that you had not done this type of work before, never done the calcs and didn't have a clue.
Do try to be more consistent.

Hey. I'm back. I have installed the swa cable getting professional help from someone I found. Am now currently installing cat 5e cable as the new machine needs network connection. Still need to install a switch fuse at the machine side which was out of stock. Will do that next week.
