Not really sure if mounting your vfd inside there is a good idea? :zap: My own preference would be to mount it out of the way of swarf/oil/grease and such.... |

Not over keen on having the VFD inside, how are you going to alter the frequency for raising or lowering the speed whilst in motion, surely you would need access to the frequency up/down push buttons, that would mean opening the guard for access then that would stop your machine so how would you vary the speed? ... unless I'm missing something... :scratch: surely it has to be externally mounted for access & operation?

As far as I'm aware they all have the possibility of being operated by remote switches and speed pots. Phil. |

Not having a vfd I'm not aux faix with them technically, just having seen all previous references to them shown as being mounted externally hence I raised the question, thanks for the heads up on other control methods. --- End quote --- |
