    Thanks drawoh for the reply. I have spoken witht he gear box manufacturer and they are ok with increasing the motor power to 1.5 HP but not any higher. I've just tried increasing the motor RPM to get it out of the low frequency range, thinking that running that low of an rpm was contributing to...

    Increasing input HP to gearbox.

    Hi all. I'm hoping someone here can give me some guidance as I don't have a lot of experiencein working with gearboxes. I have a 750:1 gearbox being driven by a 1HP motor connected to a VSD. The input HP as defined by the data tag is 1.38 HP. The motor runs at 10 Hz raising the load until it...
