Guys,
I'm looking at purchasing a variable frequency drive for my metal lathe. I'm currently looking at a cheap ABB 5.5kw drive on fleabay, but it is listed as the ACH series, suitable for HVAC applications, not the ACS industrial series. I've downloaded the manual for the ACH series and had a read. It's apparently suitable for fans, pumps, and condensers. While the drive can be configured with the For/Rev Start/Stop input and the 0-10 vdc controls I want, I don't know if this drive will be unsuitable for a lathe motor with the associated varying loads.
I would be thankful of any advice you may have.
Cheers, Steve
