converter recommendation for torq cut 22

[christian7r]

I acquired a torq cut 22 that was installed at 480v and where I am going to install it there is no 480v converter that I recommend or how I can install it to make it work

thanks for your help

Do you have 240V 3 phase where you are installing the machine?

[christian7r]

not only do I have a small rotary phase that I use for the conversional milling

[Jim Dawson]

I think you need a 10 HP rotary phase converter and a 240/480, 15 KVA, 3 phase transformer. That would be the easy way to make it work.

Check to see the spec's on the VFD say 480V this is the only part and spindle motor that will need the 480v if it is a 480v machine check the transformer T1 and T2 these can normally be configured for 240V but the VFD and spindle motor wiring may be where you have a problem

[christian7r]

The VFD input is 200-220v/50hz 200-230v/60hz
I'm trying to upload a photo but it will not let me try later

That is good news then you can get to running on 240v single phase then I will tell you how once I see some more photos, you posted photos before so should work the same

That is kind of strange that it has the 230v VFD Drive and 480v on the machine spec's I think someone must of changed it to a 240V machine

The first thing you have to check or do it set the 2 Transformers to the correct Voltage T1 input and T2 input this may already be set for 230v operation seeing it has the low Voltage VFD Drive

Check your Power supply 240v is what NA should be sometimes it is higher or can be lower, what is your supply voltage ???

You then set the T1 and T2 Transformer jumpers to this Voltage if it is not already set

230v setting would be for T1

245v would be for T2 if your power supply is up there in the 240v range

Don't connect your RPC these machines do not like Rotary Phase Convertors

Another thing to check is the coolant pump most are single phase just check this in your first schematic it is showing it as 3 phase supply for the coolant pump, what is yours and is it wired the same as the schematic

[christian7r]

Ok
if it is something strange because the vfd is 230v and the spindle motor says 400v
I think the single phase current is 240v I have to measure it to see how much it gives me

the coolant pump is single face 120v

The spindle motor may be wired for 230v

Are the Transformers wired for 230v T1 and 245v T2 this is important

greetings I could not answer but I'm back the voltage in my house is 230v and configure both transformers to 230v and I could turn on the electrical panel without turning on the VFD or the spindler since they are 480v consult with those of Bptparts.com and I They said they were 480v

[christian7r]

it's already on but I'm having a problem when I give the drive the enable it is giving me an alarm (Axis Drive Fault) that could be causing this failure

Thanks

[christian7r]

for the spindle and the VFD I will have to install a transformer 208 to 480v

You need to connect your mains Power 230v supply to L1 and L2 then Jumper L1 to L3 this won't run you VFD drive because of the 480v needed but the rest of your machine should run, the transformer may cost a lot as well you may find a 230v VFD Drive that is cheaper, check to see what the spindle motor voltage is it may be 200v to 480v so just changing the VFD may work if the motor wiring can be changed

[christian7r]

I did that without connecting the VFD and since everything turned on the spindle motor says on the 400v board, I read something that the axis drive faul alarm is because the vfd is off so it does not let me enable the other drive

Turn the VFD Drive on then it won't hurt the VFD drive may give a low voltage alarm though this way you should be able to check the machine homing Etc.

So if the spindle motor can't be changed for 240v, I don't know how you are going to get 480v 3 ph just for the spindle motor and Drive that will be quite a challenge

[christian7r]

ok thank
I'm checking a step up transformer 208v to 480v

I know this is an old thread, but did you get anywhere with this 480v torq cut?
