Here's my status with my new PM-1340GT:
- Matt shipped me a single-phase version, but just stuck the boxed-up three phase motor in with the shipment. That's why I had a third box on top of my crate. Nice of him to give me an extra motor, but what he told me was, "since I didn't have a three-phase version in stock, and I knew you were hooking up a VFD, I just sent you the single-phase version with the three phase motor". Cool, he gave me an extra motor. Now, I'm thinking: I could sell both these motors and install a nice vector-rated 2HP 3phase made-in-USA motor like the Marathon Black Max Y551 like Mark mentioned in this thread. Looking at the dimensions, I would have to re-fab the lower end of the back-splash to relieve it out to get the motor in there, but that could be done. My big question is, would it be worth it? Or should I just go ahead and stick that Taiwan-made 3 phase motor in there and press with the WJ200-015SF hookup like you guys? I'm sure it would be nice to have a POT dial on my control panel, and not worry about using it in full range. I'm also guessing this Black Max motor is a better quality unit too. ADVICE?
