We have a knee mill that keeps blowing a fuse on one leg of the 3-phase breaker box. One day it blew the fuse out of the blue, not from overworking or misusing it. Now when we replace the fuse and try to turn the spindle on, it kicks and shudders and tries to spin (like only 2 of the 3 legs are hooked up) but it won't rotate and then blows the fuse.
Anyone have this kind of experience before? Possibly a chip laying on some windings or some such? Any quick and dirty resistance readings I could take to diagnose or rule anything out?
