I'm currently running my shop off a 10kw military generator and the constant starts of my 16" victor lathe is hard on the gen-set. To solve this problem i got a vfd so i can soft start the motor. The vfd can handle fwd/rev so i don't need those contactors but i do need the high low stuff.
I was really worried about figuring out how it was wired. when i opened the electrical panel i found a circuit diagram in a plastic bag taped to the inside of the door. Wholy shit someone thought of the next guy!!
The bottom 3 contactors are high/low, the top two are fwd/rev. one of the center ones is for the coolant pump but the two things with the red dials I'm confused about. can anyone help?
Once i get set up for the day i plan to live stream on youtube as i work on this.
