VFD/Motor/Outlet Question

[jrrock]

Hi everyone, my first post and I am hoping someone could tell me if this VFD ( http://www.ebay.ca/itm/220V-1-5KW-S...973359?hash=item33d2bd9aaf:g:lMEAAOSwdAxZbYZx )

will work with this motor( http://www.ebay.ca/itm/CEM-Rolled-S...n-cool-TEFC-/222178775928?hash=item33bae31378 ) and with my outlet 240VAC 15 amps. I would appreciate any help you guys can give. Thanks

That combo will work. The main problem is that the VFD is an open case type and grinding dust will make it have a short life ( pun intended). You will have to make an enclosure for it.
Your outlet should be fine

As Stacy says, the motor will work just fine. Are you in Canada? The ebay link shows .ca - if you are in USA, you might try this unit - it's more of the type most of us that are using the Chinese drives are using. http://www.ebay.com/itm/282524936156?

Good luck and have fun.

A recent thread I started about programming that VFD. I love it, as I can run a set of remote controls cheap/easy and place the VFD in a box far away from the dust.
