I'm asking what are the basic best practices without going too hog wild on building an electrical panel. I'm starting with a mill that has been converted to a VFD drive. The motor is an inverter rated Leeson 3 hp 3 phase. The VFD is about a $400 unit, its decent.
But that's all there is electrical wise. No E-Stop button, no magnetic switch, no panel disconnect, fuse, or circuit breaker, just a power cord from the wall and a power cord to the forward/reverse switch and motor.
So what are peoples recommendations as a best practice in front of the VFD, and inbetween the VFD and the motor?
