For details on how to use a frequency converter to adjust the speed of a motor, please refer to the following:
For a small frequency converter with single-phase input and 3-phase 220V output, connected to a low-power motor, first change the motor to a delta connection, then connect it to the inverter's UVW terminals, and finally connect the start switch.
Connect the inverter to the forward or reverse rotation switch as shown in the inverter's instruction manual, and then start speed adjustment. If an external potentiometer is not required, the speed can be adjusted using the inverter's own control panel. If a potentiometer is connected, the wiring must also be done according to the inverter's instruction manual; generally, it involves the 10V COM and AVI terminals.
Connect the inverter to the power supply and power it on. Configure the inverter according to the settings options in the instruction manual. For simple setups, you only need to set the frequency source. If there is an external potentiometer, select external terminal control; otherwise, use the default panel operation. Next, set the operation command source. If there is a start switch, select external terminal control; otherwise, use the default panel operation. Then, set the frequency upper limit as needed. If there is no frequency requirement, the default settings are fine.
These are the basic points for simple use. Please refer to the instruction manual for details. The wiring terminals and settings may differ between brands, but the operating principles are the same.
Distinguish between the control circuit and the main circuit, set the setpoint, and specify which setpoint is used for normal startup; other settings can be left as default.
First, the specific requirements for a motor vary depending on its application. There are various requirements, including soft start, hard start, delayed start, stopping, inertial stop, emergency stop, and soft stop. Modern frequency converters are powerful and can be used in a wide range of situations.
Therefore, the different functions of the frequency converter should be set according to different work needs.
