Al, what is a main disconnect? and are you saying it should be encapsulated in it's own enclosure? Sorry, I'm lost when it comes to this stuff.. any chance you can point me to some pictures that show...

I guess that makes sense about the fans. Thanks for the links.. especially the first one. That site is pretty sweet... they have an articulated sasquatch doll lol!!

What kind of connector blocks? Is there a benefit to using 115v fans instead a typical 12v pc fan?

Alright so I have a g540 powered by a 350w, 48v, 7.8a power supply. I have a 400w brushless spindle powered by a 450w, 48v, 9.4a power supply. Everything is wired up and works. Now I'm looking to...

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.. got it working!! Disabling the Step Low Active is what did it. Thanks for the help. If you ever find yourself in central MA I'd be happy to give you a clean...

Anyone? **crickets**

I not familiar with any of your equipment but it certainly sounds like you've singled out that g201x as the problem. If you bought it from cncrouterparts I'd try reaching out to them. I've seen a lot...

Ive never used an ESS but if possible you should try using the g540 without it so you can see if it's the gecko that's causing problems or the ESS. I'm no electronics expert but I think you can use a...

So I have a g540 rev3 and im running mach3. I have a 400w brushless spindle (400W 48V Brushless Spindle Motor Kit 55mm Mount Bracket Speed Driver Controller | eBay).

The g540 and spindle each...
