We have a small 3 phase conveyor (0.17kW, 5A) in our warehouse which was bought for a role which required a fairly high speed, but now we would like to re-use it in a different place where it would need to run about 30% slower.
I have succeeded in lowering the speed correctly using a (rather expensive) VFD from Schneider that I had available, and which can do all sorts of other things that are useless in this context.
My question is - has anyone an idea on how to do this in a cheaper way ? I just need to slow the conveyor down by a fixed amount, and then it will never need to change, so basically I don't need about 99.9% of the features in a typical (even low end) VFD
Thanks in advance !
