so i just ordered my 2hp vfd and have been scanning over the manual before it comes to try and plan how i will get it set up... the problem is i dont have very much knowledge of electricity and dont yet have 220v in my shop. I was going to have my electrician wire me in 220, but what do i ask for? i plan to have 4 vfd's in total in the end, all kbac27d, though only one would run at any time, can i just have him wire a 20a 220v outlet, and me wire a male 20a plug to my vfd? or do you guys hard wire your vfd's branched off the outlet? i guess ill have him install a new breaker for the 220 in the shed where the grinders would be, so my second question is, when i am ready to expand, can i just turn off the breaker and run 3 other 20a outlets, branched from the first one that he runs(or hard line the new vfds at branched junction boxes [or whatever they're called])? Im hoping to get one outlet set up and do the othersmyself when the time comes, is this a problematic approach? What do you recommend?
