Happy you found it helpful! You can see all the WEG CFW300 videos here: th-cam.com/play/PLPdypWXY_ROp3J5ykZ_LT_mW6uaPGqKN7.html and we have over 1000 tutorial automation videos here: www.automationdirect.com/videos
Thanks for the comment! We also offer the WEG CFW100 drive which is in a much smaller package but has all the same functionality as the CFW300 shown in this video. Check it out here: www.automationdirect.com/adc/shopping/catalog/motor_controls/ac_variable_frequency_drives_(vfd)/micro/drive_units#Series_ms=%22CFW100%22&start=0
Thanks! All the parameters and their options can be found in the programming manual here cdn.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/wegdrives/programmingmanual.pdf For this particular parameter, the options are whichever parameter you want the bargraph to indicate. Such as 1 = P001 (Speed reference), 2 = P002 (Output Speed), etc Make sure to check out more of our videos at www.automationdirect.com/videos/home
Sounds like you have a 3hp motor? If so, then yes, the WEG CFW300 is available in a 240VAC for 3hp motors. It's easy to find the drive you need: 1. Go to AutomationDirect.com, 2. Click on "Drives" (currently on the left grey column), 3. Use filters on the left to select 3hp, 230 and 240VAC Today I see 25 models that match that criteria starting at $225! There are tons of videos showing you how to use all the most recent drives. check it out: 1. www.automationdirect.com/videos ............. random search 2. www.AutomationDirect.com/Cookbook ...... by subject (Click on "AC Motor Drives")
I went through the procedure this video, did P002 and hit the start button and the display goes back to "rdy" and the motor (Worldwide Electric Corporation Three Phase Induction Motor, 1/2 HP) does not rotate nor hum. I have checked and rechecked the wiring many times to ensure T1=U, T2=V T3=W, ground, etc. Any ideas? Is there a source for troubleshooting, tech support?
Hi Franklin, Try this: 1. Remove Motor wiring from drive (Run the drive with no motor) 2. Factory reset (P204 = 5) >> Display should go dark and then come back 3. Press "P" button. >>You should see "P002" 4. Press "P" button. >> You should see 0.0Hz. 5. Press the red/green run/stop button. >> The drive should ramp up to 3Hz (the drive min speed, as set by the factory reset) 5. Press the red/green run/stop button again >> drive should ramp down to 0.0Hz Did that work? >> If so, the drive is working fine. If so, then add your motor parameters and wire the motor to the drive. Press the red green run/stop button and motor should spin at 3Hz Questions: 1. what is the model number of your motor? I assume it is not an AutomationDirect motor? 3. How many wires does your motor have, just the three (T1, T2, T3)? or are there more?

@@automationdirect On step 5, the unit goes to "rdy" and does not ramp down to 0.0 Hz. Is it defective and should b e returned to TEMCO where I bought it or is the a software solution? The motor is new and from Worldwide Electric Corporation (China) model NAT12-18-56CB bought from Compressor Source. It has a total of 9 wires marked T1 through T9.
@@franklinohrtman282 9 wires? That makes sense. You said you wired T1, T2 and T3 to U, V, W. Look at this motor from AutomationDirect: www.automationdirect.com/adc/shopping/catalog/motors/ac_motors_-_general_purpose/general_purpose/mtr2-p50-3bd18 Does that look like your motor? Do you see the little pictures below the image of the motor? Scroll through those until you see the image of the white motor label. Enlarge that. On the left you see all the motor specs, on the right you see how to properly wire the motor. This motor says you need to wire T1+T7 to one terminal, T2+T8 to another terminal, and T3+T9 to another terminal. T8+ T6+T9 connected to each other (and insulated to prevent shorts). Does your motor have a similar diagram on it? If so, then try doing what it says. While you are at our website, check out our prices and FREE 2-day shipping!
@@automationdirect Thanks. I did that and get the same result on the vfw300. The motor does not spin and vfw on P002 when red green button pushed reads either "rdy" or 4 Hz.
@@franklinohrtman282 The good news is the drive seems to be working. When you press the reg/green button once it says 4 Hz, which means it is running at the min speed, and when you press it again it says 'rdy' which means it is stopped. Try this: 1. When it says '4hz' try adjusting the drive speed with the up down arrows - I'f that works, the drive thinks it is running. 2. When the drive says '4hz', put a volt meter across PE-U then PE-V then PE-W. Each one should read around 220VAC. (Make sure your volt meter can handle that voltage, of course!). If that looks good, then you still have a wiring issue. If you are still having issues, try contacting our free tech support - they will be happy to walk you through it.

This is such a great concise explanation, I have one quick question though, what are the options for P207 besides 3 for current?
Thanks! All the parameters and their options can be found in the programming manual here cdn.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/wegdrives/programmingmanual.pdf
