    MOTOR UPGRADE: WHAT CHANGES?

    575V; Old OLD reliance controller..I can't even find the model online to look at the manual. I guess I'll change the current limits first off. The controller max rating is 5 hp. Scrolling through the settings and not having access to the manual, I can only see thermal overload setting. thanks...

    MOTOR UPGRADE: WHAT CHANGES?

    Thanks for the replies: Yes, the VFD is rated for 5 hp. The drive system can handle the extra torque, actually that's why it was upgraded. I'm more worried about the electrical stuff. Mechanically it seems to be in spec.
