AC 220V/1.5kw 2HP Variable Frequency Drive,8A VFD Inverter Single Phase to 3 Phase Frequency Converter for Spindle Motor Speed Control(Single-Phase Input, 3 Phase Output)

Purchased this for my recent purchase of a 3 phase wood lathe. Was easy to install and is working fine so far. Haven't used it much yet so don't know about the reliability of it yet. Time will tell.

Works great

Easy to wire and program. Works as advertised.

This vfd left a little to be desired. The programming instructions are brief. I couldn’t find out how to use my existing power switch, I kept getting an overcurrent error. I had to run straight to the motor and use the vfd as the power switch. So far it’s working but it’s still day one.

THE GOOD:- It worked when powered up!- The parameters were preset pretty decently for my drill press.- It is a simple VFD with few settings to worry about but still has the basic features needed.- Far less expensive than big name VFDs.THE BAD:- It is not safe for facemounting without a box/enclosure. This was a big deal for me. I was working with 10 AWG SOOW and my older unit (a Delta) was set up to accomodate with appropriate cable clamps meeting code so the individual conductors were enclosed at all points where the outer jacket was stripped. In order to safely fixt this problem, I had to mount the VFD inside of a UL listed electrical enclosure.- The wire terminals were too small for the appropriately sized conductors. Could I get #10 wire in place? Yes, but it was a job. The terminals have a wire clamp similar to what might be found on a NEMA plug, but it was VERY difficult to get the wire into the clamp without a terminal end. As others noted, the terminals are not big enough to accomdate a forkl terminal much less a ring. I ended up stripping the jacket and soldering the tightlest twisted conductors so no loose strands would create an opportunity for arc or short.THE UGLY:- I remain apprehensive given the comments others have made about the unit failing soon after installation. Only time will tell but it would be nice to have a little confidence in the product.

I was all but given an old Powermatic 5hp Model 66 table saw. It was in good shape, other than having sat for 5 years. It is wired for three phase 220v/460v, which is why i got it for $300. I knew about these things, though, so i jumped at the opportunity.I'd read about VFDs, but this the first time i've used one. I ordered the one specified for 5-6hp, i read the instructions twice, watched the youtube vids, and wired it up. I wasn't 100% sure of the wiring, but it was easy. Incoming 1PH 220v ground is the first connection, then the two incoming 220v hots, then the three motor wires black, red, black, L to R.In short, L to R, 1st post two x green(grounds), 2nd 220v in, 3rd 220v in(colors don't mater here), 4th black motor wire, 5th red motor wire, 6th white motor wire.I can now run the saw from the vfd, adjusting most anything. Whisper quiet! Amazing power through 3" thick Bubinga, i can feed it at any speed. This product has changed the way i see machinery. Three phase is an opportunity, now.

I bought this for a 2hp motor. It worked fine for the first day, after that it randomly trips on error 1. I've tried to reach the seller or some type of customer service. All I've received from customer service was an automated message stating they are not available right now. I bought a larger one thinking that I made a miscalculation in sizing, same issue. Replaced both with a different brand VFD and I've had zero issues.

I don't leave a ton of reviews, but this VFD work so great for the price i had to let it be known. I installed this product on my 3HP lathe and it worked flawlessly. The VFD ran very quietly and my motor had perfectly balanced current unlike the digital phase converter i purchased previously. One thing thing i can say is be sure to set P011 to 02 if you use any of the remote terminals. It states this on the amazon page but the instructions do not.
