    How to test a vfd

    Can you tell me how to test a vfd? I have an exiting vfd that won't turn the spindle very fast. It's turning like 25 rpms. That's what it looks like. But I don't know if it's the spindle, vfd or the settings that has the problem. Please help......
    I have a 110v 2.2kw HY HUANYANG VFD and spindle. TIA

    120v and 2.2Kw is a bad combination to start with, yes it will most likely be a programing problem, but if you have the VFD Drive connected to a 120v outlet then it will not be able to get enough Power / Current to run this 2.2Kw spindle motor

    So need to know what Parameters you have set, and how you are powering it with your 120v supply.

    Re: How to test a vfd

    I've had it running by 110v for four years now. I just rebuilt my machine and had to change some settings on the vfd and it started doing this low rpm spinning. I was trying to get mach3 to turn on the spindle and operate the rpms. I should have left it alone. Is there a self diagnostic program I can run?

    Where do you live that has 110v power supply ???

    No there is no self diagnostic program in these VFD Drives.

    What Parameters did you change ???

    I can give you the correct Parameters but need to know what you changed.

    Do you have a list of what Parameters are set ???

    IN NA the Power supply is 120v / 240v not 110v / 220

    Can not read the Parameters can you make a PDF file of them, that should fix it.
