For those of you who has PP's die, did it just not turn on one day, or just let the smoke out or something while running?
I've got a 10hp blue unit, bought in 2007 I think and it has run pretty much 7 days a week since. Changed filter caps about 2.5 years ago I think, and originals sill read good on meter.
I noticed in the last few months that when a machine is running(mostly the 7.5hp lathe), the high pitch from the PP gets quite a bit louder, which isn't something I ever noticed before. Is it a sign the IGBT's are getting old and tired? I'm sure I have over 30k if not 40k hours on it. Still runs every day but I feel like maybe someday I'll flip the switch and nothing will happen?
I've been thinking of buying a new 10hp unit of the newest generation, but kinda also wonder how much longer this old one might go on?
