The AVS was a HOGGER, compared to a 10EE, but your actual USE of it need not be that brutal.
Especially as an AVS has more geared mechanical ratios to assist than the 10EE's mere ONE besides open-belt.
NEW price of a Parker 514C-32 SSD - for reference, if not purchase - should be on a UK discounter's website.
I'll go and do a recce..
First three results as-at 31 August, 2021, lowest price on top. DO check shipping. I've had ZERO issues out of the UK, but we should chat if you go that way.
US Parker distributors could easily be as cheap - they just don't publish their prices as often as UK ones do:
UK based Parker supplier - for all your DC 514C range needs.
UK based Parker supplier - for all your DC 514C range needs.
Parker SSD 514C 32A 4Q 110V/230V/400V 1ph/2ph AC to DC Isolated Signal - DC Drives (1ph/2ph Input)
Not to forget that for single-phase input, you'll need a boost / "drive isolation" transformer of 10 to 15 kVA to get your AC up to no less than 320 VAC.
350 VAC to 380 VAC is "sweet spot" when dragging a larger motor.
415 VAC is about the practical max.
Even though the drive can STAND being run
directly off 480-500 VAC, the SCR switching hash will trash the whole local wire plant @ 120 Hz fast-rise pulses, "broadcast".
So the INPUT needs "at least" a high-amp Corcom style filter. An isolation transformer does most of the filtering as a byproduct, no extra charge.
OUTPUT side of the drive:
A 20 MILLI Henry choke smooths the motor very nicely, but the amperage you'd need is impractical for that.
A 20 MICRO Henry choke is smaller, lighter, cheaper for the Amperage it must pass.. and will be good enough to knock the fast-rise SCR switching edges off each of those 120 to the second pulses so as not to stress the load-motor.
You would basically be building an identical, but scaled-up at the 514C-32 DC Drive & transformer version of Everettengr's 514C-16 one for his 5 HP 10EE.
Not that hard, Mark - and other good folk - having gone before us and shared their experience.. "right here, on PM".
