VFD and 2 speed motor

The motor isn't constant Hp. I had thought about a motor change, but I'm having a hard time with the 1200+ price tag on some that I've found.
I'll change to 4p tomorrow and see how it goes.
 
Try both pole settings, but also worth keeping an eye out on eBay for an inverter type motor or vector type. There are also replacement motors that are inverter rated that run around $400 and will work great.
This is a very popular replacement, Marathon Blackmax and Bluemax, if you have any specific questions let me know.

I didn't even give Ebay a thought! I'll keep this in my watch list. Thanks!
I know more questions will arise, but I'm trying to get my head wrapped around all of this, so I'm trying to take my time.
 
Success!
I got everything connected and it works, Thanks to you guys!
I did have a situation were my heart almost stopped. After completing all the connections, I turned the drive on went to my front panel and pushed the power on button and nothing!
I had forgotten to program A002 to 01: (control terminal).
I do think I'm going to give the high speed a try though.
