I have not read all the fine print in my TECO L510 manual but from what I gather the VFD needs to be wired directly to the motor. This is different than what I had planned. I wanted to run the lathe the way it had been run for 80 years with the power coming to the switch and the old Westinghouse De-Ion emergency breaker between the switch and the motor. I guess I can handle having the switch as the controller for the VFD but I want to do the wiring smart!
Do you guys recommend housing the VFD in a NEMA enclosure? If yes any specific type or ones I should bee thinking about?
The electric grid out here is often spotty and we get all kinds of electrical spikes and power outages because of the energy of the Pacific storms and the poor condition of our lines. What should I be thinking about doing to protect my machine and or VFD if the VFD takes a hit?
I also may want to add an emergency stop button. If I do where in the wiring plan would it go? Before VFD to cut the 2 phase input power or after the VFD to cut the 3 phase output power to the machine?
