I have a teco JNEV-202-H1 VFD. I have one simple question. Can I run the 3 phase out put directly to the switch on the lathe. The switch is just an forward/off/reverse switch. I know the manual says directly to the motor but I have seen this done before and would like to do it this way if its not going to blow up the VFD. I don't understand why it wouldn't work because it is still a direct feed to the motor. If I can - do I always have the switch on the forward position and use the VFD to control the forward/reverse? I have also done this in the past with a cheap chineese VFD and it seemed to work fine till the VFD exploded on me. I do not think the VFD blew up because of my wireing, I think the VFD was garabage. I feel like I'm going to go crazy with this VFD stuff. Thanks Jason. :whiteflag:
