Does anyone have experience setting up a TECO JNEV-101-H1 motor drive with a power feed equipped with a GFI?
I presently have a Leeson ¾ HP, 200V, 3 phase motor that I’dlike to use to power a Logan 200 lathe. I just realized that the correct 115V input TECO drive requires a 20 amp service. The TECO on-line brochure indicates these drives don’t like GFI feeds.
I happen to have a GFI protected 115V, 20A circuit really close, but concerned the setup changes required to get the motor drive functioning without tripping the breaker might be difficult. The distributor indicated that certain things can be done to avoid problems, such as changing the carrier frequency, changing the motor/drive grounding, or use of V/Hz mode instead of sensorless vector mode.
I know just enough about these drives to be dangerous (and messing around with grounding appears to be heading in that direction), so if anyone has experience with any of these setup adjustments, it would be a big help.
The motor drive has not yet been ordered. If needed, I can install a 20 amp outlet on the main breaker panel, and just use an extension cord untilI get things re-arranged in the basement. If the setup isn’t overly complex, and if it functions without causing performance troubles, I’d prefer to use the GFI outlet.
Thanks in advance.
