Inverter and 3Ph Motor - Very slow revs

[JAZZCNC]

Completely different motor to the Chinese spindles so you will need to re-program the VFD parameters to suit.
Give me the details of the motor ie: current, volts etc and I'll take a look and tell you which parameters to change.

Edit: And the Vfd make and model just in case it's not a huanyang

Here's a picture of the spec plate. Oh, and the VFD is a HY02D223B. Cheers Jazz.

Erm, I've left my manual for Huanyang VFD at work but I've done enough of these now to know these are the main parameters to check and looked back at a few posts to verify.
Obviously make a note of the current settings before changing so can set back.

Pd04 = base frequency so need 50hz
Pd05 = Max freq so set this to the max you want to run this motor at ie: 100hz wouldn't go above that.
Pd08 = Max voltage set to 240V
Pd141 = rated volts set to 230V
Pd142 = rated current set to 2.74
Pd143 = # poles set to 4
Pd144 = motor speed set 1370

You're a legend Jazz. I'll give it a go.

Result!

As ever I'm in your debt.

I'm kicking myself for not having spotted the rated current setting. I was mighty surprised that the frequency was set to 400Hz, I just assumed that it would be 50Hz. Clearly the spindle operates at much higher frequencies than the squirrel cage motor and presumably that's how it reaches 24k RPM. I have some motor related bedtime reading tonight!

I'm no expert on VFD's but sure your problem was more the Frequency than the current but yes wouldn't help. This is why I said wouldn't run much more than 100hz with a 50hz motor and why you heard the frequency change but not the speed as the motor got saturated. Suppose it's a little like when steppers get saturated at high rpm and stall.
