Why would you not put the VFD in a control cabinet?
Just because it creates heat and electrical noise is not a reason to not put it in a control cabinet.
Stepper drivers, servo drivers and power supplies create heat and electrical noise and as long as you follow standard electrical engineering practice, then all of these problems can be resolved.
Fitting an IP00 Inverted in a damp and dusty environment is not a great idea and can be dangerous.

Every inverter that i have installed went into a control cabinet and any commercial machine will have the inverter in the control cabinet, so why should it be different because its a hobby machine?

Ian. Welcome to the forum. Is there a reason for you to mount the VFD inside your control box as they generated a lot of heat and RF noise it is also difficult to get at the control panel on it.

Do you have a design for the rest of the machine for you to post up.

Good luck with the build.
