2.2KW water cooled spindle and Altivar 12 2.2kW 230V 1ph to 3ph

Hi to all,

I bought this VFD https://www.inverterdrive.com/group/...r-ATV12HU22M2/ . I am having problems to make it work.
Can somebody more experienced have a look and tell me what settings do I need for this to run the spindle?

Thank for your time
Gabi

Need you to be a bit more specific than "Having problems making it work".

What is or isn't happening.?
What have you done or tried.?
Have you set the parameters in VFD.? . . . . If so which ones and to what values.?

Are you sure it's wired correctly.? Tell or show how you wired it.!
Are you start/stoping/speed control manually or thru machine Control software.?

Give us or me some starting point and I'm sure we'll have you working soon enough.!

Edit: Also some details on the Spindle. Ie: Max speed and frequency, Rated voltage and Amps wrote on side

Hi Jazz,

I did not wire the spindle, but I think if I put live to R/L1 and neutral to S/L2/N and earth to ground main side and UVW to spindle side I will be OK.
Spindle is 24000 RPM, 400HZ, 220V, 8.5A, 3 phase.
My problem lies on the parameter side. I read the manual and I am not to confident which parameter I need to change and with what.
Can you help?

Thank you
Gabi

Hi,

there are usually only 4 important parameters:

• Basefrequency (400Hz) - if you leave this to 50Hz you spindle may have a very short life.
• Maxfrequency (400Hz) - so you're able to reach 24000rpm
• Minfrequency (100Hz) - sets the lowest rpm (6000 rpm). You an go a bit lower but the spindle will have close to no torque below this point anyways.
• Acceleration (and deceleration) time (1 or 2 seconds are OK)

Be careful - VFDs are no toys - they can kill you even if you have an RCD installed in your house.
