I will need some advice putting my VFD in (once I get one) but for now I need help choosing one.
I have a small Hardinge turret lathe with a GE 3-phase motor in it. Everything works as the previous owner had a 3 phase converter and demonstrated it. I tried to get a picture of the label on the motor so I could just post it, but I couldn't get in there to get a good shot. Here's a label I found online that is for the same model motor. I confirmed that the info on it is the same as mine.
Question is, how much of this info is needed to match against the VFD?
I found a TECO for a good price with the following specs
TECO FM50 AC Drive, 1 HP, 115V 1 PH Input, 230V 3 PH Output, 4.2FLA, IP20
Good match? If so, based on what info in-case this one doesn't work out so I know what to look for in another one.
Thanks!
