If I leave my orac on with nothing happening e.g not running; it switches it's self off and I mean every thing off as the mains has been switched off.
This happens after about 25 - 30 mins.
Is this normal?
I have not tried it running yet as still trying to get to grips on programming.
Its still running the old electrics.
Any help would be great.
Cheers

Re: I this normal?
Does it come back on by itself ?
It sounds like some kind of self-reseting overload or thermal switch that's cutting power when warmed up.
I don't know if this sort of thing was fitted to the Orac...probably best for you to have a good look through the orac electrical and maintenance documents.

No there are no self resetting device in the Orac - maybe the power supply or extension lead has some protection ?
I guess you will need to check with a meter.

Many thanks for your help.
After alot of checking guess what it was?
Nothing wrong with the lathe!!
I had it plugged into a surge protection socket which was faulty, after 20 - 30 mins it would trip out.
It did the same with a normal pc plugged in.
Thanks again for the help.
