I have a 1hp step pulley Bridgeport that Ive been running a perfect phase solid state converter I think it’s called. It came with the mill when I got it. Was told it will run it but at half the rates power? The mill has a big control box on the back off it with all the contacters and transformers. Big box! Well lately it seems like the contacters are getting loud and I really don’t like the control box and want to eliminate it.
What would be the recommended vfd for a 1hp Bridgeport?
I’ve installed three other teco vfds and overall was pretty straight forward. All 3 were teco l510 models I believe. Manual was good and no problems 2yrs in. I’ve heard about derating vfds and I hear yes,no and I really don’t have a clue. Would I need a 2hp to operate a 1hp on 1ph in 3ph out to get the full 1hp rating???
Is their a better vfd out there for this application? And where other than eBay to get one? Should I be looking into input filters I have not used one and I don’t think Ive had any problems? What’s the problems that would occur? Should I be using a brake resistor? I don’t have any of my setups using a brake resistor. I don’t think the l510 has one. I would like the option of immediate reverse for tapping.
Any experience on the subjects would be appreciated. This is where it’s goes over my head
