Help needed Connecting the VFD
Posted: Thu Oct 21, 2021 5:44 pm
Hey all
I'm so confused on hooking up the VFD, I have a Leeson sm series vfd I downloaded the manual from said vfd web and have narrowed it down to a 2 wire connection and 3 wire connection.
This vfd came originally on this machine but had no documentation as to how it was hooked to the old controller.
I followed Marty's layout almost to a tee seeing I'm using the same type of clearpath servos except my vfd draws 24 amps according to the manual. I've had a few set backs ordered from Amazon and found the supplies were not as I expected ( meaning quality sucked Chinese made) and didn't want to chance frying the system or burning down the house.
