Hello
Please forgive me if I'm not on the good forum.
I am trying to find out if a 3/4 hp 1725 rpm triphase 208-220/440 volts motor is too much for my fine little South Bend.
I'm not into production work in any sort, I use it mainly for modeling jobs, hobby parts.
It is just that, pleasure of a retired old man.
This motor is available (old/new stock) at a very decent price.
I have had this fantasy, to try and run a VFD, again this is no power trip.
I could use 120 or 240 Volts AC 60hz. as input voltage,(canadian household voltage) but I am not sure this would provide a suitable output voltage to run that kind of voltage on this motor.
Your thoughts and comments, will help me quite a lot
Thank you and have a nice day.
Pierre
