I purchased a Summit brand (Bridgeport clone) knee mill. Now comes the joys of getting it up and running.
Ive bought and have mounted a single phase 220v to 3phase 220v VFD.
Now the issue is how to wire the two speed motor to allow the vfd to control it.
Attached pictures show the motor data plate, the hi and low speed wiring diagrams, and the current wiring in the junction box on the motor.
I would prefer to leave the factory connector intact for future use since i will eventually install a rotary phase converter to run my hendey lathe i'm also working on rebuilding.
Is it as simple as running individual legs from vfd to each of motor contact as shown on low speed diagram? Or are there other steps involved?
