Just getting parts together to do a conversion on a lathe.
Looking at a VFD at present with a 2hp capability should work really well on a 1hp motor. Now I'm getting a bit confused on the subject of voltages and outputs , and the manufactures have got back to me saying I'm right but there talking about things that dont even apply to the motor ratings I'm looking at.
Question.
If your supply to the VFD is Single phase 240v input, the output will be 240v 3phase. So do we look for a 3 phase 240v US style motor or a 415v 3Phase Aus/UK motor? Remember this is just VFD not a step up or down transformer.
Delta to star connections and starters really should have nothing to do with this, they dont come into play till we look at 10kw plus motors, starting under load.
Thanks
