Hello all- New member here in search of answers from experienced VFD users.
I'm looking for:
1) VFD make and model suggestions for cabinet saw and dust collector
2) suggestions on the appropriate 'paddle style switch' for the VFD going on the cabinet saw
Background:
The cabinet saw has a 3hp Baldor motor (model 35A13-863). 208-220/440 volt, 7.8-7.4/3.7 amp. 3450 rpm. "Cycle 60" (HZ?). I assume it's wired to run the 208-220 but that's just my assumption (pulled from middle school shop class). This is the VFD I'll want a paddle style "off / On" switch attached to VFD. I'm assuming that I cannot wire the powermatic's existing on/off switch to the VFD, correct?
The dust collector motor is Dayton 3hp (model 3KW99). The plate shows 208 / 230 volts. 8.6/8 AMPS. I do not see where the FLA is listed on the plate. RPM is 3525.
Thoughts on ordering two Huanyang GT-Series 4.0KW 5HP vfds as suggested by their rep? That model ($195) lists 18.5 amps output power. More than necessary? $200 x 2 is in the budget but I don't want to spend more than necessary, or worse- end up with the wrong model/maker. My primary wants are proper sizing, durability, and external "on/off" controls.
My hopes are to have everything needed on site. I'll give the installation a go but planned on bringing an electrician in to install a second panel out in my garage/shop area. So long as I have the right parts on hand..all will be good.
Thanks for any recommendations!
