I was just copying what was shown in the recommended assembly instructions I got from Joe. I did it partially so I would put a little distance from the solder joint to the device...I tend to err on the cautious side

I was thinking about easing the heat sinks on with a pair of curved needle nose pliers so I don't put any undue compressive forces on the leads

Like they say down in the deep south where I am from "hold my beer and watch this..." But I hope that I have a relatively smooth journey but I know there will be some bumps in the road along the way. Some notes from today's progress. Continued assembling the control board and when I got...

Oh don't worry, I plan to take lots of pictures. Don't hold back on your comments, I'm a tough old geezer and can take it (but I want/need to know when I am fucking up!) Looking forward to a wonderful project.

OK guys, parts came in yesterday (thanks, Joe) and I have sorted/organized the goodies and am starting to melt lead... Now I really can't wait to hear that bad-boy again!

The only Goddamn problem is it's the truth...

THE best...

Actually most small motors are single phase and only big loads like the stove top are wired up 3 phase. All big shop tools over 3 kw are 3 phase. The electric heat has a separate 240 control circuit and then a separate 3 phase supply for the heaters...but each heater is only single phase.

Happy Birthday! Hope you hear this loud and clear...

Belated Happy...hope it was a great one (if you can remember it :wav:)

OK, Mr. Smarty Pants :D...it was a nominal 240V and 400V that I was talking about. Just got back from the shop to verify but here is what I currently have: Phase 1 238,0 v Phase 2 237,1 v Phase 3 237,2 v 1-2 411,5 v 2-3 411,6 v 1-3 411,6 v And yes...

the panel has all 3 phases and a common neutral so you get three (3) 240v legs. If you wanted to wire then together delta then you get 400v phase to phase but WYE you get 240v. Like one comment..."less copper"...most of the wiring in the house is 1,5mm2 for a 16A circuit.

hell, all of the houses here in Finland are wired with all three phases...and I have 3-phase (400V) outlets in both of my garages. I even have two downstairs in the mancave as that is where the previous owner used to practice with his band.

Hell, I don't even bother with the gloves...

so looks like I am good to go...just need to change that damn line fuse o_Oo_Oo_O
