Anyone with any experience running a 7.5 hp 220 volt 26 amp 3 phase from a VFD powered by 220 single phase? I would like to know
a) what specific vfd you are using if you recommend it,
b) any issues I should be aware of
The motor is driving a 1995 Lazzari Tema 3000i. The alternative for me is to swap out the nice italian motors for single phase 5 hp main and 1 hp scoring. I doubt I will strain a 5 hp motor, as the Unisaw this is replacing only had a 3 hp and I never made it work to hard. The Lazzari uses either 10 or 12 inch blades, and I imagine the 12 inch blades might take a little more power, but comments from users with 5 hp 12 inch machines would be appreciated also.
Thanks in advance.
Picked up the saw in Detroit over the weekend and have it complete disassembled for cleaning and rebuild. Looked like a basket case when I got it but think it will clean up nicely. Built like a tank.
