Ok, this morning my VFD died. YL600-2s-2k20 for 2.2KW spindle. This was bought from a company that said it was able to use 110V. No smoke, no pop, just the slow winding down of the spindle. The display on the VFD had something on it (CN????) but before I could read it, the display went off. Powering off/on did nothing. Connections look good. Power is there. One tiny LED D12 is on, that is all.

I've had the VFD for about two years.

So, that brings me to now. I'm looking at some VFDs on Amazon and am looking at 220v models such as:(VFD 220V 3.0KW 4hp Variable Frequency Drive CNC VFD Motor Drive Inverter Converter for Spindle Motor Speed Control HUANYANG HY-Series(3KW, 220V))

or should I step up to the 4.0KW 5.5 HP?

Any suggestions?
If you have a similar setup, I'd like to hear from you as well.
Thanks!

Why where you using 120v it's not the voltage that normally kills a VFD it have the wrong Parameters set that does them some serious damage

You have to know the spec's for the VFD model there are some that can run on 120v but those that are any good for a 2.2Kw spindle will be 220v/240v

3kw would be good for the 2.2Kw spindle

[cduncan64]

Thank you for the quick response.

Well, at the time I didn't have a 220v outlet in the shop and since the company I bought my spindle from had a 110v VFD controller for a 2.2KW spindle I went that route. They also posted the parameters that need to be set in order to use the VFD with that spindle.
Can we post links on the forum?
Again, thanks.

Do you have any good or bad comments about this VFD?

I'm thinking about that 220v VFD, then I would need a 220v spindle?

What is wrong with the spindle you have, just test the UVW and Ground pin to see if it is ok

Pin1 to Pin2=
Pin2 to Pin3=
Pin3 to Pin1=

And Pin 4 to the Spindle Body most are not connected and this will have to be corrected like photo

I recently bought that same VFD. It's bee n working just fine so far. Easy to set up and has good instruction manual.

[cduncan64]

@milo30
Mind if I ask what spindle are you using and are you using mach3?
Thanks

That is a low cost VFD and will work very well, a word of caution the wiring has to be correct,and Parameters have to be set correct or the same thing can happen

[milo30]

A Chinese water cooled 3Kw. No I changed out all the Mach 3 stuff for Centroid Acorn.

[cduncan64]

Did you get the spindle off Amazon or eBAY?

[milo30]

No, my machine came with the spindle.

Five HP is better,

[mactec54]

Five HP is better,

Not for a 2.2Kw Spindle

[cduncan64]

mactec54 or anyone else,

Is there a wiring diagram for wiring the power inside an enclosure?
I'd like to see what other people have come up with.
Thanks

Ericks has a good example has a lot more in his cabinet than you will need but will give you an idea, if you go through his whole electrical cabinet build

I am setting up my vfd and spindle using the same components in this thread, 3kw VFD and 2.2 KW spindle. With an input of 220V single phase 25-30 amps how do you connect 10ga wire to the ridiculously small R and T terminals on this drive? Where do you find wire lugs small enough to fit the small terminals but will still work for 10ga wire.

[cduncan64]

I'll check in the morn.

There are other suppliers also https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Pcs-Ring...sAAOSwiYlaJkSB

Those are just like the ones I have, too big to fit the tiny terminals. I will keep searching they have to be out there somewhere.
Hard to believe those tiny M3 screw terminals can handle 30 amps.
