This is interesting, for two reasons: 1. I had two Geckos fail last year, after 10 years or so running at 78 volts. The Gecko pins were not burnt, but I did burn a pin on a heavy duty 5 pin XLR connector, twice on the same connector.Gecko combination. 2. I suffered intermittent failure on one axis, and simply could not find what was causing the trouble. Swapped cables; waggled cables; replaced the cable connectors; no luck at all.
Finally, one Gecko 210 failed. So, I swapped the leads to the Gecko for another axis I wasn't using for the job (4th axis). Spectacular Bang and I lost that Gecko too. Expensive. Almost shed a tear. It may be the fault of the intermittent connections Rafael mentions (Thanks for that info). I replaced the 210 duds with the 213V model, which seem to give a smoother drive but which, crucially, will drop out and indicate an error rather than act like fuses. I must dig out the old duds and check the connectors, out of interest.
