I am looking at these two TECO L510 VFDs.
1st - 1Hp 4.3 amp Teco-Westinghouse, L510-201-H1, 1 HP, Variable Frequency Drive 230 Volt, 1 Phase Input, IP20, at De
2nd - 2hp 7.5 amp Teco-Westinghouse, L510-202-H1, 2 HP, Variable Frequency Drive 230 Volt, 1 Phase Input, IP20, at Dea
I will be using this VFD for a Clausing 5310 lathe with an existing 1954 3 phase motor (0.75 hp; 2 amp at 60 hz).
It is my understanding most say double your hp for the VFD, but what you really should look at is amps. If this is true, I should be good with the 1hp/4.3amp VFD, correct?
Ideally, I'd like to initially hook up the original fwd/off/reverse switch to get the lathe up and running. I am not entirely sure how to do that, I looked at the Teco manuals and for me, it's not clear where I would hook up those 3 wires and how to program that. Unfortunately, I'm more of a visual learner. Im sure the answer is in the manual, but Im not seeing it.
In the future, I may set up a set of push button Fwd/Rev/off/jog/potentiometer. I imagine both of these VFDs could do that?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
