I purchased a beautiful Monarch 1000ee a month or 2 ago and am looking to get a new drive into the machine so I can use it at my current shop.
I have 50amp 220v single phase. I do not think I will be able to get any more power in the near future and am ok with spending more money at a later date if I want to put the original DC motor back into service. When I get more space, I should also have more power and I am also saving the teardown, paint, and everything else for this time.
The plan I am leaning towards is using a Polyspede PC1-100 and a 10hp Inverter Duty motor.
The most recent guy I have talked to that converted his 1000ee this year said the 10hp motor runs just fine so I am not too worried about that.
The biggest concern is that the Polyspede vfd calls for a 72amp input.
Will I be able to run the motor with a soft start or even a normal start with my 50amps at the wall?
Also how should I go about running the other motors in the system? (Hydraulic pump, coolant, rapids motor, oiler)
Assuming they are all three phase motors, I think I should just get them all their own small single to three phase vfd right?
Thanks!
