VFDs

[stevec]

Thanks Dave, I'm digesting information as I go. I'm not in a hurry and I have the original 3 ph motor on the test bench hooked up to the VFD and I'm planning to set up my tachometer so I can see what speed the motor is actually turning and if it's the same as my VFD tells me.
I'm working mainly in the basement "woodworking" shop these days as heating the machine shop from stone cold takes longer than my will to work there lasts.

       

I don't see much chance of adding a cooling fan as the motor's totally enclosed.
The nameplate specs are pretty illegible if needed I can take a better shot.
