Omron/IDM P5 General Purpose AC drive & 1.5 hp motor...

Omron/IDM P5 General Purpose AC drive and Baldor 1.5 17725 rpm motor

I've been offered a good used motor/ controler combo and thought I'd get an opinion first. I'm going to buy a new Bader3 to put it on.

So is this a good drive?? and what would be a good deal for a setup like this?



regards, mitch

I think the best bet, would be to figure the price of a new setup, and go from there. Bear in mind, that used motors, and controls should be significantly lower.

Good luck to you.

Hi Mitch, I just have a couple of comments. I am in the middle of
having to resolve a mistake that I made in buying an ac variable
speed controller. I do not know about your specific controller,
but in order to use a controller with a single phase input, the
controller must be about 1 1/2 times more powerful. These things are
not simple devices, you must have the instruction manual. Good luck.

Hello Mitch

Don is right about the ratings of the drive.

Please have a read through my two posts

By the way, where is Montgomery? I will be moving to Houston next month, and TKS being there had nothing to do with it
