Harry Here,
I bought an economy VFD to play with just to kind of learn how to wire and use them, I first found a 1.5 HP 3 phase motor at the scrap yard and took a chance for $18.00 and it works, I wired up the VFD on the bench and everything seems to work quite well, My question is this, The default HZ setting goes up to 65 HZ, Can you run the motor even faster if lets say you bump the HZ up to 80 or 90 HZ?
The instructions on programming are pretty vague and to be honest kind of intimidating. My plan may be to swap this motor onto the "Enco" 12x36 I got from Mr. Mike the motor makes noise and has been since I got the lathe back together. Just thinking out loud. I have been using the lathe and I'm actually pretty impressed with it.
