1 hp 3 phase inverter converter lathe mill drill saw
Forget the old fashioned STATIC and ROTARY phase converters !
GO DIGITAL - It's the only way to go !
It is designed to run a three phase motor from a single phase supply it also lets you control the speed from 1 RPM to twice the motors normal speed either by using a remote POT or the control on the unit, this is fantastic if you have the unit connected to say a lathe or milling machine as you have exact control over the machines speed , please be careful though because you could exceed the maximum safe speed for your machine, the max and min settings are programmable, you can also reverse the motor at the touch of a button,
It features a SOFT START to start up the motor in a preset time and this reduces the shock load on a machines belts/gearboxes and also reduces the power surge on the mains that can blow fuses without the SOFT START, the motor stop time can also be programmed to stop a chuck within a few seconds if required using the braking function,
* Sizes from HP up to 3 HP
This unit will work with most types of motor but the motor has to be a dual voltage type in order to run at FULL POWER,
You can normally see if your motor is this type by looking at the rating plate, if the voltage rating says 220/440 then your motor is compatable,
You can also look at the motor connections to check compatability, most motors have the 6 terminal arrangement as shown below :-
Here the motor is shown wired in STAR mode, in this mode it can be run on 415 Volts 3 phase, to enable the motor to be used with this range of inverters you need to set the motor in DELTA mode as shown below :-
Not all motors have this configuration of terminals for example BROOK'S motors as oftern found on small lathes like the Myford etc will have a 3 terminal arrangement with terminals A, B and C each with one wire connecting to the motor and an N terminal with 3 wires on it, this again is a DUAL VOLTAGE motor compatable with this inverter,
If you have any worries about your motors compatability then please contact us on 01773 811038(Monday to Friday, 10AM till 10PM) and we will be only too pleased to assist you check if your motor is OK for use with this unit,
This unit will work with motors up to 1 HP power output and the unit can give you a 150% overload for 60 seconds for starting the motor or short heavy power requirements,
The unit is brand new and boxed and comes with a quick start guide, its a compact, FAN COOLED unit with easy screw connections,
