I've just finished restoring my new-old Boyar Schultz 618 Hydraulic Surface Grinder. She's all up and running including the dust collector base and the hydraulic pump (not shown in photo). She now just has to be moved from the garage down into the shop.
I bought a Chinese (Huan Yang) VFD from eBay which works like a charm (see photo). It's been temporarily wired to the machine, configured and works greatr.I
Now 'm in need of suggestions for mounting the VFD. I'm figuring a mains switch for the single phase input since there is no on-off builtinto the VFD, and a twist lock recepticle for the three-phase out. I have no plans on using this VFD at anything other than 60 Hz and only for this Surface Grinder. That being the case, I'm thinking of mounting the VFD to the base unit.
The main thing that's binding me up thought process wise is the lack of provision for cable strain relief into and out of the VFD like what would be available with a junction box. I'd like an elegant, attractive, and reliable solution to mount the VFD.
Can anyone offer any ideas? Or better yet, photos of their VFD installations?
