Drive up in smoke

[egneg]

Had a Siemens drive pop on me at work today. ESC's are cheap compared to one of these. Sorry for the quality ... cell phone picture.

Yep. . . I'm surprised at the amount of abuse our Weg and Allen Bradley drives take at our mine site and still keep going.

Huh, interesting. I have about a dozen AB and Siemens drives, I do not think I have lost one in 10 years! Cost a lot more than a ESC, but they last and protect the motor.
