| pDrive CX Single - will this inverter run my 3 phase motor? |

:doh: :doh: Now my head is totally mush! The inverter works fine on my Brook Crompton motor on my lathe. It does cause some squeeling at low frequency but these speeds would rarely be useful, bump it up to 20Hz+ and the squeeling goes and the motor flys! Sounds like I have a winner, Jaguar on the miller and pDrive on the lathe but unfortunately the lathe is in such a position that I`d need a controller box and wouldn`t have a clue how to wire one up to the new pDrive and besides, I guess it is under power and my approx 2/3hp Crompton lathe motor would be lost on this smaller inverter. Likewise, the Jaguar will be overpower for the small 1/3hp motor but I guess I could set limits as to not damage the motor. :Doh: Why the heck wouldn`t the inverter be running the small Seimens motor? Chris EDIT: Swarfing, we posted at the same time. It is 100% a 3ph motor but I have no clue why the pDrive won`t run it. |

Try base at 60 then it maybe happier as it thinks it is state side. it could be a duel frequency motor? |
| raynerd:
Thanks for the replies Swarfing and all others....I`ll give that a bash tomorrow. I think bed is calling before I get tired and :zap: I`ll keep you updated and if anyone has more thoughts, post and I`ll be sure to give them a go! |
| Swarfing:
Perceiver a few of us have been here before i can assure you. If it is duel motor then you should be able to get hire speeds out f it :thumbup: |

b32 found under General Functions sounds like it might just explain the issue. |
