Re: Victor Resseting
You mentioned Victors and Spikes - two different things. I assume you are driving the motors with the Victor (variable speed control).
The victors dont reset by themselves, the circuit breaker that is in series to protect them resets (opens), then a few seconds later it will close by itself.
Are you sure you are using the right circuit breaker for the motors? there are different current ratings. If you are using the CIM or drill motors you want the larger breakers.
Other than that, if something mechanical is binding it could be causing your motors to stall (draw a lot of current) and trip its breaker. A clamp-on DC amp meter would really help isolate the problem. If you see the motor drawing >40 amp then the breaker should be kicking off. If the victor is dropping out and the breaker is not tripping then something is wrong with the victor (watch the voltage on the input to the victor with a volt meter).
The other possibility is a loose wire somewhere, either a power wire to the victor, or from the victor to the motor, or a loose PWM cable?
