Experience with Variable Frequency Drive
I am restoring an old (1945) Walker Turner floor drill press. I wanted an original motor to go on it and found a guy that sells parts and restores motors. He has a 3 phase motor that he is working on for me. I want to get a VFD to control the speed and convert from single to 3 phase at the same time. My question is what happens if the VFD you are using is just marginal for the motor amp rating. I know there is some lose in HP rating after conversion. Will the drill just have no torque and slow down ??
The price difference for a 1 HP and 2 HP is going on double. Its like a car, you spent more than it is worth. |
