Same, same.
I’d cancel but for $55 I can wait a while.

Sounds to me that they oversold and you're now in the waiting re-stock queue.

Now I have to buy a new 3 phase machine to install it on. LoL

Mine says delivery date pending... and if I click on it the price to buy now is $138

The pricing is all over the place

Ya the price swings make my head swivel. It's awesome if I fellow can get one cheap tho.

Well colour me shocked... my vfd has apparently shipped.
I ordered a parallel port card on May 12, shipped today, it and the VFD are schedule to arrive Tuesday.
Suddenly I am awash in projects!

Those old links point to $130-$170 - there's a 99$ alternative, bit I'll look for a while to see if any come down in price.

I scanned all VFDs on amazon.ca, and there were a few really cheap ones - one 380V and one 440V - the best price I could find was the 99$ one today.

These el-cheapo drives are not capable of sensorless vector control which really helps maintain torque at low frequency. If you are looking to use it on a motor 2hp or less this might be a better choice.

Has anyone hooked one of these 220v VFDs to 110v?

 

[Overkill19]

My VFD arrived this morning.

Ya mine says it will be here tomorrow by 8pm!

Thanks, John, for the link - for a few dollars more, it looks far more capable. I just want one for this 1 HP 3Ph motor I got on a super deal.

Mines is going to power the 1/3 hp coolant pump for the surface grinder.
