The machine dont move

Agreed that the electrician should be held responsible. I certainly hope that you can recover some money from the guy.

I am not an electrician and beyond very basic electrical work I know I would almost certainly make mistakes with the potential for disaster. However I am pretty confident I would have avoided the mistake this electrician made.

I will gladly pay an electrician very well to do the job right the first time. If I were going to pay a hack, I might as well do the work myself since I would at least know when to stop.

At least in my area if a reputable contractor made such a mistake, they would pay for the damage right away and make things right.

I would advise finding an electrician that has previous experience with industrial equipment. Make sure you have the correct wiring diagrams for your machine as well.

I just wanted to post a follow up for anyone that was following this thread. He ended up having two blown Alpha drivers and I fixed him up with some used ones pretty cheap.

He is up and running.
