I got the spindle VFD working on my Shizuoka and the speed varies quite a bit. This seems to be due to interference coming from the spindle motor leads. The cable has no shielding but there are six wires. One for each phase, and three more that seem to connect together at the motor end, but not to anything else. My guess is these are for shielding and should be connected to ground at the controller end. Has anyone seen this before? I would like to verify this before I ground these wires. I could cut the motor connections apart to verify how they are connected, but the factory did such a nice job, I hate the mess it up if I don't need to. Thanks.
