    Yes. All shields terminated at one end only, your star point. If second end not connected no current can flow in the shield and induce currents in enclosed wires.

  17. Re: 1100 watt BLDC spindle controller alternative?

    I have seen and fiddled with quite a few models, like this one, but this is yet another I don't have a schematic for.

    Try these files for driver and rest of machine.
