This ring roller is really testing my patience.
New switch fitted, works a treat under no load. Left, right, stop all absolutely fine. As soon as I put the bar in now it trips the RCD. MCB doesn't move so as far as I understand it it's not overloading the circuit. It is as smooth as it can be just running but not rolling anything.
It's only a 0.75kw motor and I'm happily running a 3kw motor on the same circuit on my belt grinder and other 0.75kw on pillar drills, lathe etc.
What is the meaning of this?
I have bypassed the new switch and it still does the same thing, and I have changed the main flex and still the same issue so hopefully I have ruled those out.
Is the motor knackered?
