My coolant pump let the magic smoke out, so I bought a replacement. The replacement is intended for 240 volts, unlike the original.
It works nicely, as tested from a wall socket. When I replaced the UK plug with a US one and tried from the Tormach coolant pump socket, it didn't work.
Now, I'm running 240volts into the accessory power, but when I measure the output at the socket, I'm only getting around 170 volts.
Has anyone seen anything similar? I've just put a UK plug back on the end and put it straight into the wall for now. It works, but it isn't great to have to turn it off at the wall at the end of a run, especially as I do like the option of leaving the machine alone to do its thing.
I'm thinking that if I can't get a full 240 volts from the socket, I'll have to put some sort of relay so that the control box can turn the coolant on and off.
I guess the board might be expecting 120 volts, which might be why the smoke came out of the original pump in the first place.
