Noisy VFD Setup

The autotune settings have some value even with the default setting and they should be updated when you run the autotune again. At this point it looks like an issue with the VFD, whether it is defective or just not compatible for some reason is hard to say, but the motor appears to be fine. I do not have any other programming suggestions at this point, I would see if it can be returned.

As I previously mentioned, you would probably be better off with a smaller (3 or 5Hp) motor and possibly a more mainstream VFD. I figure the current motor is of some value so would offset the other costs. If you stay with the current 10Hp motor, the least expensive VFD 15-20Hp 3 phase input run in derated mode for single phase input would be the Fuji drives (FRN0047C2S-2U, FRN0060C2S-2U) and still quite pricey. If using a 5 Hp motor you could go with something like the GS23-2010 (10Hp, 5Hp with single phase input) almost 1/2 the cost. You could try another HY, but my experience with them is the usually that you need to go up to the next larger (15Hp, 11kW) model, in particular with single phase input at the higher Hp versions. The HY version you purchased they rate as 5.5kW with single phase input. If you look at other VFD manufactures they also recommend or require the us of a DC buss choke to achieve the Hp output running off of single phase in derated mode. There are also other issues as to the input current rating of the VFD and associated wiring when you get into the larger VFD's.

HY VFD's
VFD Vector 1/3-Phase 220v to 3-Phase Converter, for (≤5.5KW Motor) Speed Control (GT Series-7.5KW,10HP Model)
VFD Vector 1/3-Phase to 3-Phase Converter, for (≤10HP Motor) Speed Control,220V Input/Output(GT Series-11KW,15HP Model)
 
I would read the reviews, in order to use on single phase you probably need the 11kW model. In addition, do not attach a braking resistor to this unit, if attached to the - and + terminals this is a direct short, one of the reviews they had some nasty fireworks when doing so. A braking resistor can only be used with an additional chopper circuit which regulates the discharge into the resistor. I have not seen one offered so assume it is not available, which has been my experience in the past with these VFD's. Some versions have a built in chopper circuit other do not. On machines with high momentum, this is going to result in very long stopping times.
