First let me say that I am very "electrically challenged" , so please keep in mind that I am below the entry level of knowledge here.
I am trying to get my new-to-me South Bend Heavy10 running, and I am having a problem getting it to run on the high speed winding. Actually it won't run at all, unless I wire it to the low speed side (it is a two speed, 1HP motor). I have only been wiring to one side or the other, not both.
When trying to get the high speed winding to work, it always gives an "over current event" error message when I attempt to start the motor. I assume that the motor is pulling more current than the default setting on the VFD . Can the VFD be reset to allow for start-up, or is this not the problem?
The VFD is a Hitachi SJ200. Input is 220 single phase. I am attaching a photo of the plate on the motor.
Thanks for your help. If I get the motor running I might have a few more questions on how to wire in a remote forward-off-reverse switch, and potentiometer.
