Yes, the VFD should be directly wired to the motor.

To switch to delta, all you need to do is spin the link bars from horizontally across the bottom three terminals, to linking pairs of terminals vertically. There should be 3 link strips, even though only two are needed for star connection, unless somebody has lost one.

If you want to retain the built in switches, you'll need to wire them to the VFD control terminals.

I'm guessing it'll wired so all the stop switches (doors, pedal, and main stop) are wired in series, so you just need to configure the VFD to monitor one input so that if the circuit breaks, it stops the motor.
Then have the start switch wired to another input.

If you're lucky, somebody may already know what settings you'll need to change, to avoid brushing up your chinglish :-)

Hiya,

Thanks, thought I was on the right track. Just linked the 3 strips for Star connection and checked the earth is secured so thats good to go.

Yes I just need to find those two sets of terminals on the second or third level of the Huanyang connector block and change some settings. Someone had a guide for this surely, its been done enough times :)

Thanks
