Spot the connection

Hi Steve,

Thanks you very much for getting back to me on this one, I am just wiring an elliott m10 shaper so am following what you have done.

I will add a low volt light some time as I have some spare 12v halogen bulbs spare at the moment.

The plan is to mount my VFD on the wall and then add a commando socket which I can then plug an extension lead into and then run my different 3 phase eqipment. I have already got a the 240v power terminated in a separate consumer unit and then going to feed the VFD via a 3 pole issolator. I just need to think how I am going to wire up the sockets for the VFD remote pendant as I will also need to be able to move this around as well.

Regards Mick

If I read your post properly it sounds as though you're going to use the vfd for more than one machine. It might depend which vfd you get, but that could be difficult as they need to be set up for each motor (rpm, current, kW etc). Perhaps someone else on here has done it successfully and I'm talking nonsense (it has been known)..

That was the plan, not sure on how it will work out, it is a 2kw VFD and all of the other motors are smaller, I have not realy looked into it as yet, It was part of my harrison 140 lathe setup when I purchased it, it has a drives direct sticker on the motor and VFD, its a bonfiglioni vectron sysn10 220 07 af, just downloaded the manual and for me its as clear as mud.

Yes that is the one, good pictures and if you want to run the coolant pump on 240 volts then a 4 micro farad capacitor with a 400 working voltage is required. Pump motor starts up quickly and runs as normal. John
