Re: 4 Axis Controller Wiring Question
My personal preference is to have a main breaker and an individual breaker for each drive. This allows you to turn off drives for troubleshooting and setup. The breakers are there to protect the wires, if the drive fails, the breaker is not fast enough to protect it from damage. On the other hand I have only had one DMM drive fail, and that was due to a lightning strike nearby that took out some other electronics also.
Here is my lathe panel, the power to the distribution block comes from the 100 amp machine main breaker
