Looking for some 3phase help please. 1st off I have another 3 phase machine in the shop that I run off a Kay industies RPC it is a Felder saw shaper. I recently aquired a
3phase AD741 jointer planer with a 5.5 hp motor. I think this tool I'd like to run off a VFD drive if possible, I looked at a couple different ones and they state the wiring must go
directly to the motor. Well with this J/P it has additional electonics that must be powered also. Can anyone recemmond a VFD that can be wired to run the entire machine? or is this
not possible? I have several 220 outlets in the shop so I'd like to use the machine in different locations, powering it with my RPC would limit me to 1 area, unless I start running long cords (which I dont want to do). I'd like to mount a VFD on the machine to keep it mobile. Suggestions?
I'd also consider a static phase converter, I know they reduce the overall HP, but I dont mind that on this machine.
