- Welcome to Episode 6!
This week, we’ll be looking at the easiest way to add a 3 phase power supply to a single phase garage, via a VFD, or Variable Frequency Drive. This may not be as complicated as it sounds! - บันเทิง

🤣 that's just your luck... 😂
arh il have ago, then boom... he's only gone an nailed it first try 🤣
keep you the great content buddy.
look forward to the next one an to also see the next this or that 👍
😆 Wish it was like that all the time! Thanks Craig 🤝
Electrician as well as welding wizard ⚡️🔩
I wouldn’t go that far! 😆🫶
Very cool. And I bet that’s going to come in real handy👍👍
It will indeed! 🫶💪
Ah, I wish it were always that simple! You touched on it at the end (needing the motor to be wired in the delta configuration) but - 3ph in the UK is 415V across all three phases while domestic 1ph is 240V, so this style of VFD will work fine for a motor in delta config but not in star, and not all 3ph motors are selectable in their wiring. The motor on my Bridgeport had the 'point' of the star buried in the housing rather than exposed at the wiring block which meant it would only run 415V 3ph so my options were either a "step up" VFD (more expensive but there are *some* cheap Chinese ones now), a rotary phase converter (expensive but can run multiple machines) or have the motor re-wound.. the latter (by W.H. Shoebridge & Sons) was by far the most cost effective as they didn't have to do a full rewind, just 'pull out' the star. Is is DIYable but for the cost of the work (under £200) I got new bearings, paint, insulation tested etc etc. Anyway the whole point of this was - if you aren't sure how your motor is wired, a local rewinder is pretty cheap peace of mind and might even be able to save you the cost of a new motor if yours is permanent-star :)
Now I just need to figure out what to do with the 3ph power feed on the X axis.. it's only been three years (sound familiar? 😂)
Thanks Aaron! Appreciate the run down! Oh yes, it’s a great feeling 😆
£200 sounds pretty reasonable. I'm a sparky and would be in two minds whether to DIY or send it out at that price.
@@markrainford1219 I thought it was well worth it considering it also got me an insulation test etc etc on the windings (not like I have a Megger lying around :)) and the bearings, blasting & paint. Lucky for me the place is practically around the corner.
Plus I got to drool over their Colcheste Magnum!
Looking forward to the riveter 🤌
🤟🫶
Yaaas!!! Cheers!
No problem Graham 👍 Sorry it hasn’t gone into as much detail as I intended!
Not at all. This is just what I needed. I have the same Drill press. @@FanFabWeldWiz
Those VFDs are really meant to be in an electrical enclosure, hence rudimentary terminal covers and no form of cable restraints. But, it's your garage.
Appreciate the concern Mark 👍
Great video, what type of motor did you use in your rotary table? Thanks
Thanks Shane 🤝 I can’t remember off the top of my head, it’s been a few years since I’ve had a proper play with it! Only a cheap, 90 degree geared 12v motor I think!
Is that a turntable project on the bench 👀
It is indeed! I started it a couple of years ago, but it needs a bit more head space to get working as nicely as I’d like it to. It’ll get there one day! 🤟
Can you run a 3 phase tig through one of those josh or will it melt something?
I’m pretty sure this type wouldn’t, but I’m not 100% sure. The main job of this type of VFD is to act as a motor controller, so I think you would need a dedicated phase inverter rather than a VFD. Great question! 👍🤝
3 phase into my garage…. Yes please…
Big lathe and ….and… and other big stuff…
There are lots of 3 phase things on marketplace just waiting to be bought… and collected(heavy) all would one need to do is learn how you use them..
The possibilities!!! 😆🤝
Jammy git 🤣🤣🤣
ELECTRICITY IS THE DEVIL !
😆👻
Be it that you only have 50 hz generated to you are you able to run your machines at 60 hz off the vfd
Yep, I can’t remember the full range of this unit, but it will be able to output at 60 hertz 👍
