Hi All,
I was stupid, I admit! I should have known better - but now I need to fix it.
Last week I had an electricity meter installed in my workshop, something wasn't done right, or possibly something was already wrong and this made it happen, anyway my Lathe's (JET 1642 EVS-2) Inverter got fried...
JET want's $470 (before s&h to Israel) for a replacement, which sounds a bit steep for me...
I have an offer on an LG SV015iG5A-2 VFD which is rated much the same, for a much better price (supposedly as good or even better than the Delta vfd), however I have no idea how to connect it to the existing motor and controls, and also how to program it correctly for the Lathe
Also it has some features (like braking) that can possibly be used to make the lathe even better (faster braking) etc.
I would appreciate any help that could be had with any of the above problems (installing/connecting, programming parameters, improvements/mods)
Please help me get my lathe working!
Thank you
