Hi,
I am wondering for quite some time now, how i will be able to run the simonet motor, of my schaublin/simonet 102 hybrid lathe. The motor is a 380VAC, three phase motor, and it is not possible for me to have 3phase power supply out of the wall. By reading, i understood that using a vfd would be the best way to run the motor, but after contacting some dealers and looking on the web, i cannot say if it is actually possible to do this appliance properly or not.
Most of the dealers say that it is not possible at all to do this. That i want for example to have a three phase 230VAC motor in order to run it from an one phase 230 power supply through a vfd. I was looking to buy a santerno sinus n, since it is quite affordable and available in the greek market, but i seem to get a reply that this unit wouldn't work with my motor. Some fewer dealers suggest that their units would work, but since most of them suggest that what i am looking for is technically impossible, i ve been kinda left wondering. I also look to some chinese makes, which are quite cheap, and i see in the user manual, that i would need to change the 380V star connection to 220 delta connection. I am not sure how easy it is, if it would work and if by doing this i would alter/decrease the power characteristics of the motor.
Ideally, i would prefer a method, where the inverter would just provide the power needed from the motor. Kinda plug n play. I don't care for any programming of the inverter unit. I mean, the changing frequency and so changing speed effect, by means of a pot would be nice, but rather than that i don't need something more.
I have an allen bradley vfd unit, model 1332, CAN. As i understand it is 5KW rated. More than enough for my max 800W motor. But this vfd needs a 3 phase supply. I even tried to input 380VAC, 2phase to it, from a transformer, but the test motor didn't spin..
I attach a picture with the simonet motor details.
Would there be an "easy", proper, vfd way, to drive my motor?
