VFD error

[IanParkin]

I have not worried about connecting a bigger VFD to a smaller motor
and indeed on occasions the other way for a test off load

just set the max current appropriate for your motor

I have 12 vfd's driving bits of machinery in my workshops and only 1 chinese branded ( i think they all made in china now)
the european brands are easier to set up perhaps ....manuals seem easier to understand
But they all perform as expected
so in your situation I think I would buy a chinese one for £90 and look into having yours repaired as a back up
or buy a package of spindle and vfd for £220 ish? if you thinking of the 2.2kw one
