Your video is so good, and I was moved by your professional knowledge. We are a Chinese supplier specializing in the production of frequency converters and soft start for 12 years. I hope we can have some cooperation in the future.
So if I'm understanding this correctly, there is no neutral in the circuit, so the two power leads come from the double pole breaker, red into one pole and the black into the other pole? So I'd be pulling three wires, a ground, and two power leads and no neutral?
In video you connect red and black to L1 and L2 witch are hot. Each wire provides 120v. You connect green wire as ground. Where does the neutral white wire connect ? I'm wiring a TECO E510 VFD. 240 volts single phase input power to power a 240 volt 3 phase motor.
Hello Steve thank u for sharing information wht I want to know is the sattings of the frequency to run motor or water pump connections hve been easy thanks again.
Hi. This is Alan from MICNO. We are a professional VFD, AC drives, Frequency Converter, Solar Pump Inverter manufacturer in China. We can supply you with very favorable price. If you are interested, you could send me an email at liupengfei@micno.com.cn / Skype: alanbusiness91 / WhatsApp: +86 15112589350. Hope to help you to some extent.
My pump is single phase (I guess, as it doesn't say anything else) with a standard plug... It has a pressure tank attached... Hoping just to plug it into a VFD controller to do what a VFD does... Is there a controller that will do that?
in an application with constantly start stop of three phase motor what is the better way so motor doesnt hot to coonect the inverter with triangle or star
I wasn't sure if a vfd changed the output frequency or the rotation frequency I've since learned a stepping motor controler controls rotation points I can't see a 3 pole stepping motor out there thanks for help much appreciated
Thanks for sharing the video. Nice explanation on single & 3 phase wiring. I have subscribed your channel. Where can I find the video on programming the VFD?
Hi can you please help i have a cross cut saw and need to put in a two way switch so that i can have it running continuously or on the hand button stop&start also i need to put in an emergency stop
I just added a VFD to an old CNC I have. Its your Mitsubishi. Thanks for showing how to get the main power cover off. Now my problem is this. The 4 lead wire that came off the spindle motor to the FWD rev relay only had the 3 power wires going between motor and controller. The ground lead from the motor went straight to the grounding area of the enclosure. Now my wire is not long enough to get to the VFD in the cabinet. Is it good enough If I just run a grnd from the VFD to the grounding area of the cabinet? Should I just say, start from the beginning and get a dedicated VFD to motor wire? Wire would have to be about 8' long.
Do you have a tutorial on how to connect a single phase motor to a single phase vfd :)? I've seen people do it and I need to do it but I would like to know how to :).
By grounding via cable to a ground star bar, does having the VFD case grounded to the control panel backer not cause a ground loop by having two grounds come from the drive?
Please i want to buy single phase 2.2 kw vfd, will this run any 3 phase more below 2.2 kw, will some one advice, thanks great video, thanks for loading
Wondarful sar I have one 5hp solar pump in myagriculture field But some problams in burn thisvfd d700 So no many iam poor farmar. Present in not working thisvfd .
If you are trying to program Mitsubishi VFDs, check our video library and you will find other videos showing some basic programming. Every brand of VFD has different terminology, so we can't answer what F, H, A means unfortunately. For any programming specific for your machine, you will have to consult your manual for the parameters or find a local electrician who has experience with VFDs.
Could you tell us about the problem of my vfd,we have 3phase vfd and i try to wiring installation but still 000 display in indicator when i start push button, Actually i lost manual for this vfd can you help us,. thanks
Lanclot, a VFD is used to control electric motors, they do not power the motors or transformers for that matter. Feel free to check out our video "what is a VFD"
Shahbaz, this is an AC VFD pairing with AC motors. If you have a DC VFD, you will need a DC motor. The wiring might be different since the VFD is manufactured by a different company. Emerson makes great DC VFDs.
230v and 240v is the same thing. single phase power can be either 120v (hot and a neutral) or 2 hots as "nominal" 230-240volt. same thing like, potatoe potatoo .. lol
The part I am getting tripped up on is how to wire in a switch to the line side going into the vfd so I do not have to leave it on constantly. From what I can gather I will need a DPST switch rated for the correct amperage but I can not seem to find any 2 articles or opinions that say this is the correct way to configure the switch. Some say that a switch will always burn out others say they have had a switch on theirs for ages. My manual does not list any control ports for a power switch and i I understand it correctly it goes as far as saying that a switch should not be used to control the run/stop of the drive. I take that to mean that you should not use a switch to put the unit under a load not just powering the unit on but I am admittedly getting a little cautious. Any guidance would be appreciated.
hello friend, I am working in a solar panels company my manager asking a question to me.what happening the +ve and -ve terminals are changed into the drive is burning or working.
Hi VFD Team, I'm from Germany and I'm trying to wire my singlephase VFD to a 3phase Motor. Here in Germany we have one Hot wire one neutral and eart. My VFD doesn't say anything about the neutral ... Do you have any Idea how to wire an VFD with only one hotwire ?
You'd be most likely able to drive any VFD with arduino - it's controls are like analog input for speed control and digital inputs for rotation direction, emergency stop etc.
Hi, I am a mechanical engineering student working designing a screw conveyor as my senior project. I have a Baldor 1.5 hp brake motor. I need it to power a conveyor that will have a speed of 20-40rpm. As of now, I have a gear box with a turn-down of 20. Additional to it, I am thinking to use a VFD to control the speed. At this point, I need to start selecting a starter and VFD and need some help with that.
Hi Sofia, A VFD acts as a starter, so you shouldn't need one if you have a VFD. What is your input power voltage and phase? What is the voltage and FLA of your 3 phase 1.5HP motor?
I have a delta 3.7kw VFD. I am using 230V BRWG (black, red, white, green) from my panel to L1,2,3,G respectively. I am using the same for T1,2,3 G. I am getting 220V to ground from each line into the magnetic start panel. I have selected the H4 220V terminal of the transformer that links to the magnetic switch (previously it was on 460V H3). When I hit the start switch I get a rapid clicking of the magnetic switch and no motor engagement. I called delta and the tech told me one of the three line legs coming in from the VFD is a "fake leg" and that must be connected to T3 or L3 depending on which end of the wire you wish to view. How do I identify this so called fake leg? I see no info in the manual about this. I am using this VFD to drive a 5hp motor for a delta unisaw (34-806) which I wired from delta to wye. I am not used to needing help for such things, but I am at a loss on this. Has anyone encountered this before?
Rollin, We need more information in order to answer your question. (1) We are not sure what you were referring to when you said "fake leg"? (2) What exactly is the magnetic switch that you mentioned? What does it do? Where is it located in the arrangement of the electrical components? (3) Where is the transformer getting its primary power? (4) Do you have a contactor after the VFD? If you are trying to close the contactor after the VFD is turned on, it will not work. Let us know. Thanks.
You don’t specify for what country? Here in Oz - we have 4 core + Earth wires:- L1 Red L2 White L3 Blue Neutral Black Earth Green with yellow stripe! And it’s 440 volt 3 phase. L1 L2 & L3 are interchangeable to reverse parity on 3 phase motor & get it to spin correct direction.

Can you wire a single phase to 3 phase vfd to only output 220v?
great work . but i have a question I have a single phase motor and i want to make speed control so how i can connect it on the output of vsd
Eslam, you will need a three phase motor. VFD works with three phase AC/DC electric motors.
It is not possible to conect single phase to vfd for variation freq it must be 3 phase to change.
What about the brake resistor? It has three wires but no label. Both are Galt units.
Hello,please also explain inverter control with relay for manual control of vfd driven motor
Please make a video on Servo drive

Lanclot, a VFD is used to control electric motors, they do not power the motors or transformers for that matter. Feel free to check out our video "what is a VFD"
Do you use a screened motor cable?
You should use emc shielded cable between vfd and motor and install vfd into metal cabinet

Im from Mexico City and I have a hard time understanding the name single Phase if you are using 2 hot wires, isnt single phase 1 phase and 1 neutral?
Ernesto Moctezuma residential 240 is still considered single phase
And ground.
hi brother . can you tell me how can i adjust external veriable of this invertr E700
Hi. Confused a little, you say single phase which is one wire and a neutral to return. You have said two hot wires so is this 240v instead of 230v?
230v and 240v is the same thing. single phase power can be either 120v (hot and a neutral) or 2 hots as "nominal" 230-240volt. same thing like, potatoe potatoo .. lol
i was thinking about same thing
Emma Burns of course. 3 phase has 2 hot and 1 neutral.
stop guiding people with wrong direction. there is no neutral on 3 phase.
Robert is right. It’s 3 hot phases for - 3 phase. Sometimes there’s a neutral in addition, if 120 is being taken off one phase.
is there any VFD available working at 48volt?
Did you mean 48 or 480? 480 yes, 48 no.
I mean 48v
Sir will u pls explain control wiring
He says you don't have to use wire ferrules, but with multi stranded wires going into a screw terminal you should always use wire ferrules.

Thiru, I am sorry but I don't understand what you are asking.
my question is what happen in +ve and -ve polarity changed in the inverter circuit.
Does this have to do with the VFD wiring? We still do not understand what you are trying to ask.
Where does the white wire go thst is coming from the 220
please show me control wiring I am confused all ways please help me.

You'd be most likely able to drive any VFD with arduino - it's controls are like analog input for speed control and digital inputs for rotation direction, emergency stop etc.
It is only power wiring no control wiring you should wire the potentio and the reverse and forward direction.
Hello can I use 1 vfd into multiple motors?
Yeah, as long as the motors dont exceed the rated Amperage of the VFD

How to decide source or sink ?
You don’t specify for what country?
Here in Oz - we have 4 core + Earth wires:-
L1 Red
L2 White
L3 Blue
Neutral Black
Earth Green with yellow stripe!
And it’s 440 volt 3 phase.
L1 L2 & L3 are interchangeable to reverse parity on 3 phase motor & get it to spin correct direction.
You're explaining how to connect a single-phase VFD (L-N), but you ended up wiring it as a 2-phase (R-S) one! Why is that?
It would be much more educational if the wires were refered to by their types (such as live or neutral) rather than their colours.
ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ l the red black green of 220V is standard for north America. The UVW doesn't matter as long as it goes to the proper pin
Where do i connect the encoder
I want to ask that on single phase VSD on the same connection is it where u connect wires of electricity and of the solar panels .
In 3 phase vfd... If we connect neutral to earth what happens
VFDs from Mitsubishi have very good manuals and explain wiring differences when using single or 3 phase.
Nice video
Nice video 👍
very well explain, thank you.
Thanks Steve. I've been suscribed. I'm doing my tesis with VFD controlling a pump and so with PV energy.
Very Nice Video, Did A Mistake At 3:57 "Single Phase In Single Phase Out"
Thanks For Uploading Anyways...
+XspydareX Xarrior Thank you! He meant to say, "single phase in, three phase out".
+VFDs.com yes dear i understand
i jus said it was unconsious mistake
hello , why did he say single phase and hes using two hot wires
@@ErnestoMoctezumaoro live is always live, neutral becomes live when all switches are closed so both can be called "hot"...
@@ErnestoMoctezumaoro He forgot to mention it was single phase 220 volts in and 3 phase out.
That eye is amazing!
3 phase dc or ac output?
This is an AC drive, so it is AC output. It goes to an AC motor. There are DC motors and DC VFD out there but this one is AC.
good video.
Sir agerbattis machines drive vote connection plz
