You are looking at a ½ HP TECO 240V single to three phase inverter unit, 

These drives are designed to run a three phase motor from a single phase supply. They also let you control the speed from 1 RPM to twice the motors normal speed either by using a remote POT or the control on the unit.

This feature is fantastic if you have the unit connected to either a lathe or milling machine as you have exact control over the machines speed,

The max and min settings are programmable; you can also reverse the motor at the touch of a button.

Also featured is a SOFT START which starts up the motor in a pre-set time, this reduces the shock load on a machines belts/gearboxes and also reduces the power surge on the mains that can blow fuses without the SOFT START.

The motor can also be programmed to stop a chuck within a few seconds if required using the included braking function.

The unit is brand new and boxed and comes with a year warranty; you can download and view the full user manual HERE.

EV Range Inverters

• Sizes from ¼ HP up to 3 HP
• User Friendly Inverter - Easy to use
• EMC Filter Built-in
• Compact Size
• DIN Rail Mounting Option
• 0-200Hz Frequency Output
• Soft Start
• Electronic Brake
• Full Overload Protection

This unit will work with motors up to ½ HP power output and the unit can give you a 150% Overload for 60 Seconds for starting the motor or short heavy power requirements

This unit will work with most types of motor but the motor has to be a DUAL VOLTAGE type in order to run at FULL POWER.

You can normally see if your motor is this type by looking at the rating plate, if the voltage rating says 220/440 then your motor is compatible,

You can also look at the motor connections to check compatibility; most motors have the 6 terminal arrangements as shown below:

Here the motor is shown wired in STAR mode, in this mode it can be run on 415V 3 Phase, to enable the motor to be used with this range of inverters you need to set the motor in DELTA mode as shown below :

Not all motors have this configuration of terminals for example BROOK'S motors as often found on small lathes like the Myford etc will have a 3 terminal arrangement with terminals A, B and C each with one wire connecting to the motor and an N terminal with 3 wires on it, this again is a DUAL VOLTAGE motor compatible with this inverter.

We do have smaller and bigger units and also some 240V single phase input to 415V 3 phase output units for NON DUAL VOLTAGE motors so please ,

If you are at all unsure about this units compatibility in your application or with the wiring of this unit we can offer any help and advice required to get it connected and running in your application, please call Drives Direct on 01623 720730 between 10AM and 10PM 7 days a week,
