Hello,
Not sure if this goes into this forum or the BP forum but here goes...
Okay my BP Series 1 has a 3PH motor which was wired for 460v 3PH. I installed a VFD to drop it down to 1PH and I re-wired the motor to 220v. It runs, no problems there...
I am trying to figure out the best way to word this so if it doesn't make sense I will try again... but here goes.
If the BP is physically set to 300 RPM do you run into any physical problems in the gearing/belts if the VFD runs the motor at, let's say... 3000RPM even though the BP is set to 300RPM?
Seems like in some speed change instances you could run into a overspeed problem. Does that make sense or am I not totally understanding the BP operation?
I am thinking that if the speed is set using the BP speed adjustments there are gears/belts that turn within certain RPM specs and if you introduce an external device to make the motor run faster even though the gearing/belts are set to not go fast you run into some kind of RPM overspeed.
Am I just overthinking this?
