As with many other users of the Performax 16-32 drum sanders, I have frequently been frustrated by the inadvertent tripping of the thermal motor circuit breaker. I have noticed that some folks on this forum and others have installed AC Ammeters into their sanders for monitoring the motor current to allow manual adjustment of the conveyor speed in order to avoid tripping the circuit breaker. I appreciate the solutions that other forum members have shared to resolve this problem. I hope this solution will help someone else who may be experiencing the same problem. A complete description of my solution to the problem may be found here: (PM Paul for address)
Further information has been submitted as an article. Hopefully it will be approved and posted in the near future.
