I am on the Gold Coast, Australia...
Looks like I'm Buying!
I too like that site. Shipping is a bit expensive to Australia, but I am heading over that way in 2 weeks - I can wait that long to save US$150 for shipping!!!
I am looking at around aud $166 for a .5hp and aud $249 for a 1 hp. I figure that on 3 drives, I can drink a lot of beer for a little messing around...
Just for curiosity, can you find better value? I might have to share that beer if so...
cheers
Good point with the wye/delta.
What I have learned so far:
*For a motor that is 'idling', then magnetizing current should be my limiting factor.
*I can get around this by decreasing voltage at 'X' frequency, or connecting in wye (it is currently delta)
So, on this information, I will get...
Skogsgurra,
Thanks for the response. There is quite an economic advantage, as a supplier has some surplus .37's which are about 1/2 price of the .75's. Is there an easy way to determine what excitation current would be drawn by my motors?
As for reduced voltage, I am think this VFD will be...
Guys,
In my searches, I have not found any information regarding the underspec of a VFD. I already have some 0.75kw motors on small conveyors (from another job), and need to purchase some VFD's for them. However, I do not need their full rated power. In fact, they are for conveying tree...
