Product Information

Full details

The Suswe SU-800 VFD Inverter is designed for hobbyists and small businesses needing to power three-phase motors from a single-phase supply. Its key benefit is enabling precise motor speed control and energy savings for equipment like lathes and pumps. A potential caveat is that advanced parameter settings require a good understanding of motor control principles.

FAQs

What is the maximum motor power this VFD can handle?

The Suswe SU-800 VFD Inverter is rated for motors up to 1.5kW (approximately 2 horsepower).

Can I use this VFD with a 110V single-phase input?

No, this VFD specifically requires a 230V single-phase input supply.

How do I change the output frequency?

The output frequency can be adjusted using the control panel buttons or by setting external control signals, depending on the configured parameters.

What is a 'soft start' function?

A soft start gradually increases the motor's speed from zero to its set speed, reducing electrical inrush current and mechanical shock on the equipment.

Do I need to program specific motor parameters?

Yes, for optimal performance and protection, you should program the motor's rated voltage, current, and frequency into the VFD's parameters.

Can this VFD be used for reversing motor direction?

Yes, the motor direction can typically be reversed by swapping any two of the three output phase wires (U, V, W) connected to the motor.

What is the warranty period for this VFD?

Please refer to the product documentation or the retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

VFD does not power on

Verify the single-phase 230V input power connection is secure and the circuit breaker is engaged. Check that the VFD is correctly wired.

Motor does not run or runs erratically

Confirm the motor is correctly wired to the VFD output terminals (U, V, W). Check motor compatibility and ensure the motor is not damaged. Review VFD parameters for motor settings.

Overcurrent or Overvoltage Fault

Reduce the motor load or check for short circuits in the motor wiring. Ensure the input voltage is within the specified range. Adjust acceleration/deceleration times if they are too short for the load.

Low Output Speed

Verify the frequency setting is appropriate for the desired speed. Check motor nameplate details and confirm they are correctly entered in the VFD parameters.

Overheating

Ensure ventilation slots are clear and the ambient temperature is within the VFD's operating range. Check motor load to ensure it does not exceed the VFD's capacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables the use of three-phase motors on single-phase power.
  • Provides variable speed control for enhanced application flexibility.
  • Soft start/stop functionality protects machinery and extends motor life.
  • Offers potential energy savings through optimized motor operation.
  • Compact and relatively easy to integrate into existing setups.

Cons

  • Requires a good understanding of electrical principles for installation and setup.
  • May not be suitable for extremely high-power three-phase applications.
  • Parameter tuning can be complex for novice users.
  • Documentation might be technical, requiring careful study.
  • Not a direct replacement for motor controllers with integrated safety features beyond speed control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Power Off: Ensure all power sources are disconnected before wiring.
  2. Wiring: Connect the single-phase 230V AC input to the designated terminals (L1, L2). Connect the three-phase 230V motor leads to the output terminals (U, V, W).
  3. Grounding: Properly ground the VFD unit and the motor according to local electrical codes.
  4. Parameter Configuration: Access the VFD's control panel to set essential parameters such as motor rated frequency, rated voltage, and rated current. Adjust acceleration/deceleration times and frequency limits as needed for your application.
  5. Power On: Reconnect power and test motor operation.

Compatibility:

  • Input Power: Requires a stable 230V single-phase AC power supply.
  • Motor Output: Compatible with standard 230V three-phase AC motors up to 1.5kW (2HP).
  • Environment: Designed for indoor use in a clean, dry environment with adequate ventilation. Avoid dusty or humid conditions.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the VFD unit's casing and ventilation fans with a dry cloth or compressed air. Ensure the unit is powered off and unplugged.
  • Ventilation: Keep ventilation openings clear of obstructions to prevent overheating.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect wiring for signs of wear or damage.
