| Soft Start for Warco VMC motor |
| (1/3) > >> |
| JerryNotts:
I have a VMC which always starts by going from 0 rpm to full revs almost instantaneously. This is accompanied by the whole machine rocking an almost imperceptible amount. If nothing else it makes me jump in surprise the first time I start it in any session. Can anyone suggest a mod to make it 'soft start'? Short of installing a VFD. :zap: Jerry |
| JerryNotts:
Aha. Perhaps the silence on this subject indicates that I might be on a loser! I'll have to look seriously at a VFD system then. Jerry :bang: |

First thing I did with my 626 was junk the oem motor in favour of a 3 ph and vfd..... |

Try using a 3kw dimmer switch. We use them on our boilers (homebrew) but also I have used it to control a vacuum cleaner motor. They are very cheap on ebay . Worth a try |
| John Rudd:
Dimmer switches use a triac or scr and as far as I know are not suitable for induction type motors as per the vmc. I stand to be corrected of course..... |
