Re: Victor on fire

On the list of Victor failures...
1. Metal shavings inside the device.
2. Driving a locked motor over a long period of time.
3. Two motors fighting each other in a multi-motor drive.
4. Short on the output or power wiring connected backwards. (A hint on this one and the two previous ones is a buzzing sound coming from the circuit breakers)
5. Metal shavings inside the device. (yes I repeated myself, but this is the cause for about 90% of failures.)
