This is my old VFD
Would be useful to know where you are based. I've got some stuff but not sure if I'm nearby at all.

If your motor is only 4.5kW and you have some 5.5kW VFDs, you should be fine. The voltages look suitable unless I missed something. The old VFD was only being used at half of rated power but should have been fine there.
Obvs you need to set up the new VFD with the nameplate numbers from the motor. Usually stuff like max phase current, max frequency, number of poles etc.

I’m in newcastle mate, if I can’t get up and running I’ll give you a shout, but should be ok. Fingers crossed

Cheers, I’ll give it a go tomorrow. I’m just trying to get through the manual. Looks ok to be fair but the speed control looks a little complicated from the Chinese ones
