FPL is telling me 6months and 15k to run one wire.
My street is pretty vacant for the moment so I will try an RPC. Flipping through the literature there should be a 240 hook-up. Also the spindle is a DC motor so I don't think it will care much after being rectified.
THAT part you need to research, and more in detail than a VFD. It could be blessing or curse, either one until you sort WHICH with the maker, etc.
Above 2 HP or so, MOST DC Drives are direct on-the-line "thyristor class" or "advanced SCR" as to function, if not also their actual Silicon.
They "ARE" the rectifiers as well as the output pulse control. There is no pre-rectifier, filter capacitor bank, THEN pulse-shapers as a VFD has.
Any leg not as "good" as the other legs can confuse the drive's controls.
Shorter answer: Well maybe not so "short".
- Single-phase-in DC drives are out-of-the box wire and go, but scarce in serious power levels, and also need a massive ripple-filter, any DC motor not wound for 180 VDC or below. Per Reliance for their RPM III DC motors, and Parker_SSD for their DC drives, anyway. Who TF am I to argue with either oracle? I bought the ripple-filters.
- THREE phase in DC Drives as your machine already MAY have - actually depend very much on utility-mains grade balance of power among phases. Can't fool them as readily as a VFD. They fight naked, so to speak - nothing hidden, not even bad power, nor the third leg being shorter, hairier, and softer than the other two!
DC SERVO on the spindle, you will just have to research. I haven't had the pleasure of having to delve into what their control amps need for rations in too many years to be even
remotely current.
"More research" and sooner rather than later as to spending coin HIGHLY recommended.
