Just got $900 3hp Colombo with VFD, need advise about it.....
It was supposedly a demo model and has only 8 to 10 hours on it.
Being that it was a demo model the cord between the spindle and the VFD is very short. So I need to know:
(1) Should I add wire to the cable on the spindle by spliceing in longer cable and soldering it? How should I make it longer?
(2) What special grounding needs to be done?
(3) The VFD has 3 cables on it. One for the 220v power, another that goes to the spindle, and a third which I'm guessing hooks to some control boxes. What if it doesn't hook to my control box? What do I do with the third cable?
Anything special I need to know?
