so i bought this vfd and spindle cause i was told that it would fit the 5 axis CNC perfectly.
its a chinese spindle and VFD.
i wired it up correctly. So it seems...
I've also input all the variables in the frequency drive that I had to. To my Knowledge.
this is what i put inside the VFD settings:
max rpm 1800
motor frequency 300hz
motor voltage 220
motor amps 5.6
motor power 1.5kw
I tested the continuity of all the wires:
U goes to pin1 on the motor
V goes to pin2 on the motor
W goes to pin3 on the motor
I also tested the current of the 3 wires coming out of the vfd.
they ranged from a121 to 122.5
i have single phase 220 coming in from my panel.
So everything seems to be setup correctly as far as i can see.
but my motor wont turn. I can see it wanting to turn and it creates a humming sound as well.
I just cant figure it out.
my Question is.
can i actually run this 3 phase motor off of this setup? does the fact that i have single phase electricity from the panel mess things up?
I thought the VFD turned my single phase into 3 phase? Isnt that what the 3 wires are for?
thanks!
