Can This VFD & Motor be wired to run on a 110 outlet?

to run a 2hp motor you need a 2hp VFD. the KB needs 220 to put out 2hp. get a TECO 220 2Hp from Dealerselectric, from them you will get motor and drive for less than just a KB VFD
 
I have the above products in my shop, waiting to be wired up. The KBAC-29 is rated for 2-3 hp.
 
The specs say it will run on 110/120VAC. In most cases, a VFD running on 120 delivers somewhat less output power, so the motor may produce more like 1.5HP. That is plenty to run a grinder.
When you have 220/240VAC, it will be better to switch to that.
 
In the manual it says
Note: Model KBAC-27D is rated for 11 ⁄2 HP maximum with 115 Volt AC line input and 2 HP maximum with 208/230 Volt AC line input.

That's the 29 not the 27 model
It's the 3 HP model, not the 2

If you read the manuals it would be apparent

The webpage gives mixed info the text is correct, the titles and charts are not.

Details
The KBAC-29, Adjustable Frequency Drive is encased in a NEMA-4X/IP-65 wash-down watertight enclosure. It is made to operate 208/230 Volts, 50/60Hz, 3 _ AC induction motors used for Machine or Variable Torque (HVAC) applications. It operates from 208/230 Volts, 50/60Hz, single or 3 _ AC input​



Short answer NO

That' one's 220vac input
If you go to the KBAC27D 2 HP model, yes you can use 110vac up to 1.5hp
 
I have 220 in the shop. But... I had thought I had room in the panel to add another 30amp double pole 220 breaker, but I dont. I will have to install a J-box at the Tablesaw plug and run 2 plugs. One for the TS and one for the grinder. Neither saw or grinder will be on at the same time.
Thanks to all.
 
I read the specs.
In the description of the 29, it only states 200/240. But, in the link title and the specs it says 110/120 or 200/240. Confusing????

Darn Count - you're right..... again {g}:thumbsup: I saw the motor he linked to as a 2hp and didn't look that much at the number of the VFD, just the manual linked on the webpage..... AND the manual covers the 27D and 29D. You've got to read down into the manual a bit more where it does become clear on page 13 & 14:
Models KBAC-24D, 27D: Designed to accept single-phase (Terminals “L1”, “L2”) AC line input only. Rated for 208/230 Volt AC line input with Jumper J1 set to the “230V” position (factory setting). Rated for 115 Volt AC line input with Jumper J1 set to the “115V” position. See Figure 7.

Model KBAC-29: Designed to accept single-phase (Terminals “L1”, “L2”) or 3-phase (Terminals “L1”, “L2”, “L3”) AC line input. Rated for 208/230 Volt AC line input only. See Figure 8.

That confusion is why I posted the question. I am NOT an electrician. If I cant see it and it can hurt me, it scares me.

Anyone know about the KBAC-29? It says 1 phase input 3-phase output, but will it also run a single phase 1hp 240 volt motor? cant find anything saying it will run a single phase motor, and is the only one I can find for sale right now.
 
Several questions to be answered:
1) Where do you live?
2) How big a motor?
3) What is your budget?
4) What motor type - 56C?
 
Single-phase in single-phase out VFD is rare and expensive. It also takes a specially wound motor, not just a regular single-phase motor.

One thing folks don't often know is that a three-phase in/three phase out VFD can run on single-phase 220VAC input. It will be derated by a third, but work. Connect the black to R, the white to T and the ground to PE (or G).
