Joe, those are the actual ones I was looking at. Nothing set in stone though. I have heard of people using the original drum switch as an input to switch from forward to reverse. If that is possible, I won't need the higher end models.
Mike, I also lean towards overbuilt. I didn't know that applied with vfd's though. I figure it's probably a 1hp. If it is, I was leaning towards a110v input 220v 3phase output model. That's assuming I can use my drum switch for reverse. If the vfd will work better/longer/with less stress I would rather go heavier than the minimum.
I'll need some help with wiring those inputs, but it sounds like a good idea. When you wire up a 220v input vfd does it take just the two 110v hot legs, or do you use the neutral also? Also still holding out hope someone might recognize this motor.
no I don't have outlet. Yes pretty much straight. Maybe a switch in between if I need toYou're not talking about going right from your breaker panel into the VFD are you?
Do you have a regular 220V outlet near the mill?
