Will My AB VFD fit my Mill

Hi all,

I picked up a Clausing 8540 Horizontal Mill at an auction. It has a 2HP 220/440 7A motor 3 Phase motor. Where I live I don't have access to 3 Phase, but I have 220V single phase right behind the machine. (the shaper next to it is 220V sp)

I have a Allen Bradley PowerFlex 4 Cat No. 22A-A8P0N104 Rated for 1.5Kw/2.0HP

Will this VFD work on the mill? I had originally picked it up for my 3/4HP lathe motor.... but the lathe is still in pieces.

Do I just keep it for the lathe? if so what should I be looking for? (Size, Brand, etc.) The reason I have the AB was the price was right. I'm open to any mfg.

Thanks,
CBB

Almost...

We use ab 13xx series units and you lose 1 hp in rating for single phase.

You need a 3 hp size.
