Thanks for all the good info. I will modify my operation and see how it goes.

General Tormek Questions / Re: My T-8 heats up and shuts off
May 22, 2020, 02:07:50 PM
Ken,
Thanks for the question I appreciate your knowledge. I ran it for 2 hours on house power, it got real hot and smelled hot but never shut off. It would usually shut off with shorter continuous use on the solar/battery power. I measured the exact same voltage from the house and inverter. As far as switching to a T-4, maybe something I can do in the future but currently I have a handful of SG-250's I got a good price on.
Thanks
Larry

General Tormek Questions / My T-8 heats up and shuts off
May 20, 2020, 10:12:41 PM
I remember seeing a conversation about this before but after an hour or so of continuous my T-8 shuts off and won't re-start for 10-15 minutes. I have contacted Tormek and they graciously replaced it with a new model assuming something was wrong with machine. Now to my dismay the replacement does the same thing. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with my power supply. I run with a solar setup charging four 130 ah batteries. Anyone else out there running off solar?
