Just a follow up...
So I went out to the garage because the 4.2 amp thing was bothering me and so was the smaller(16ga) extension cord. I tried to eliminate the extension cord but all I have out in the garage is GFCI outlets which pop as soon as the VFD is turned on. SO i looked at all of the parameters again and one stood out. Kenny gets the big THANK YOU for hitting the problem on the head... and I should have looked at this earlier. The VFD wasnt set to 020 to indicate 60hz. I did ask the tech support guy about it and he said not to even bother looking because North American units come pre programmed set to 60hz- WRONG. it was set to 000. SO Kenny, thanks again, and thanks to all who helped with this thread. I'm sure I will have more questions as I go but at least now I know the motor will work.
