    Got a bunch of VFD's, anything good?

    I was given these yesterday:

    2x Hitachi HFC-VWE (0,4kW)
    Movitrac SEW eurodrive (5,5A, 3,8 kVA)
    Samco-V vvvf inverter (1,5 kVA, 0,75 kW)

    I googled around a bit but didn't find too much info, they must be old.
    Are they good for anything?

    looks like you're a pretty good scrounger. Like the robot too.

    Bet these VFDs still work fine. it will be easier to set up if you donwload the manuals.

    You need to know the input voltage.

    KARL T: Most of the data ar written on the units, some have limited wiring diagrams but i find it hard to find the manuals on the net, I have tried to mail the manufacturers...I hope they respond next week.

    AL: They are all 230V input, they are from Sweden (where I live).

    I've used Hitachi a lot. They are all about the same. You can download manuals for current models from automationdirect.com

    I think we perhaps could team up on something... I have a Perske VF spindle head/motor but no VFD yet. I've been planning on building my own VFD from scratch... =)

    I might be interested in buying one of you units, and we can try getting my motor running anyhow. I live in Uppsala/Stockholm.
