Solderer to pin 4 on the inside.

Here's what mine looks like. It's an easy fix. I'll solder a wire to the pin 4 terminal and attach it to the spindle body when I screw it back together.
I wonder how many people think they have a grounded spindle and don't know the pin needs to be wired. I learned something important today.

I'd like to know what is wrong with the input wiring. I'm really trying to learn so rather than just ask you outright I'm trying to figure it out myself.
I'm using 14 guage wire. It's coming off a 20A circuit so I suppose the code might require 12 gauge, but the spindle is rated for 8.5A so I think it's ok.
Wire coloring. I'm using standard 14/2 wire but colored one wire red so I'm not using a white for a hot lead.
The bare ground is connected to the ground terminal.
There are three input terminals: R, S, and T. I am using R and S but I think the code might require that R and T is used. This is where I think the problem is.

There is no code related to R- S- T Terminal Connection, R and T on these VFD Drives gives a better balance, some manufacture will say which Terminal you should connect use for single Phase connection
The cable you are using, Romex cable, is fine for in wall wiring, but is not suitable for wiring anything like this, you used a good cable for the VFD to Spindle connection, the input should be treated the same way, it does not have to be shielded but it should be a quality cable of the right Gauge, there are other ways the supply power can be wired to a VFD, but most use a suitable cable
The input Amps can be more than double of what the output is needed for the spindle, so it could go as high as 17 amps, if your spindle is 8.5A, your 14G wire would be under what is required, you have a 2.2Kw Spindle the amps would be 10A amps at 220v, 9A if you use 240v if you don't set the VFD Parameters correct

If I'm not mistaken R=L1, S=L2, T=Neutral(White)

No Neutral is not used if you are using 240v in NA, if you connect Neutral when using 240v in NA you will damage the VFD, Only ( 2 ) Input Terminals can be used for Single Phase
For 120v Single Phase you will have ( 1 ) Hot L1 wire a Neutral and Ground R=L1 Hot T= Neutral ( E ) Ground/Earth
For 240v Single Phase you will have ( 2 ) Hot wires L1 and L2 and a Ground R=L1 Hot T=L2 Hot ( E ) Ground/Earth
This is how it is for North America
Other countries use different voltages, from 200v 220v 230v, for Single Phase, there connections have ( 1 ) L1 Hot wire a Neutral and ( E ) Ground, there connections for this VFD would be R=L1 Hot T=Neutral ( E ) Ground/Earth

Rick, where did you attach the other end of the wire you solder to the fourth pin?
I have attached some pictures of the work I did (I had no green color heatshrink sleeve so I used red). Checking continuity now I have a ground between pin 4 and the body of the spindle. The screw holding the ground wire could not sit properly because the underside of the spindle cap is cone shapped so I wedged the ground terminal to the conned surface and tighten as much as I could. Later I will connect the water pump again to check if I have any leaks

You guys seriously are making this way to difficult. Shouldn't make more that 10 min tops. Yea that is done correctly.

discojon you must be a genius LOL, but my fingers are too big for such a job plus my soldering skills not the best around. I hope it will hold the way I did it
Anyway your idea was top notch!
Nicolas
I know a neutral is a return path, it seems you just parroted that from my post.
My next question my help other DIYers in NA that had there home built before the 90's and the neutral is used as a ground for 220 volt. What's your suggestion for wiring there VFD? New service?
You are starting you BS again, you asked the question, check what you posted, here is what you posted, ( If using the same connection for 110v than this will require a neutral on one of these connections correct? ) I gave you the answer
Its as simple as to check the code requirements for doing such an install, you will find for it to be legal there electrical system would have to be upgraded

Hi guys. Gee I am seeing a debate about simple wiring and not so much about the many parameters the VFD holds. These parameters and setting the unit up are the discussion in this thread are they not?
I believe if one is unable to wire up the input and output of this unit they should probably get someone in who can, in the matter of safety? Yes? Far out!
But what I did want to say, was the fact I have a Huanyang Chinese unit and a 2.2kw air cooled spindle. I have used it for way over its duty cycle at times, cutting dry, alloys, steels, hard-woods (which are rougher than metals), and have absolutely no issues. The setup is fantastic at a DIY price. In fact I am running a business with my router. I am pleased I bought it.

I have used R & S for these VFD's have not found any difference between using any combo.
The manual say the 'If single phase The source meets two Wilfully' what ever that means, I believe it means pick any two!! when translated from the Chinese, just about all the Utube videos showing running and setting up show many users using R&S.

Can these VFDs run at constant speed?
Do I have the settings wrong, or am I misunderstanding how the VFD works?
It is my understanding that a VFD's are able to maintain the set rpms by adjusting power. However, when my setup is lightly loaded down the rpms drop. The current increases but the rpms are not maintained.
My Setup:
Spindle: Water Cooled, 1.5KW, 110V, 400Hz, 24000rpm, 8Amp
Inverter: Huanyang HY01D511B, 1.5KW/110V, 110V Input and Output
Source: Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/MYSWEETY-Cool...5kw+water+110v
Using the pot on the front of the VFD. Can get all the way up to 24,000 rpm. Other than this constant speed issue, everything is working fine.
Parameters I'm using:
PD001 = 0
PD002 = 1
PD003 = 400
PD004 = 400
PD005 = 400
PD007 = 10
PD008 = 110
PD009 = 14
PD010 = 7
PD011 = 120
PD014 = 10
PD015 = 10
PD070 = 1
PD072 = 400
PD73 = 120
PD141 = 110
PD142 = 8
PD143 = 2
PD144 = 3000
