I'm looking to power a 5hp three phase motor in my lathe with a VFD. I haven't decided if I'll stick with a 5hp rated, 3ph input drive or use single phase on a 10hp drive, but from what I understand, getting one with "sensorless vector" technology is preferred. I already have the 5hp, inverter rated motor.
What I'd like to know is if most of the major brand VFDs with sensorless vector (Yaskawa, Hitachi, Lenze/AC Tech, etc.) are basically the same or if there are certain brands that are better? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
