Getting a new spindle dialed in here.
When I run the autotuning function; 5 minutes in, the VFD errors out with a OV3.
The manual says that is for: " the input voltage changes abnormally", OR "Inertia of the load is big"
solutions being:
"install input reactor"
"add proper consuming components"
I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, or the solutions for that matter...
anyone have any ideas.
The spindle seem to run fine, although I have not ran the RPM's up as high as the auto-tuning seems to.
Its a 4.2kw spindle, and the VFD is 7.5kw
maybe it too oversized?
thanks

Do you think it would be better to get the 5.5Kw version? I think that is the closest rated one to my spindle.
I have all the required parameter set, at least that I know of...
thanks for your input!

What motor are you running?
I also have the GT version... The Tech support from HuanYang said I only needed to set 4 parameters and that was it and shared this video
after which the autotune would take care of the rest, it did not.
Anyway, these are what I set for my 3.5KW motor before running the autotune:
P2.01=3.5
P2.02=300
P2.03=18000
P2.04=220
P2.05=15
P0.03=300
P0.04=300
P0.06=300
Hopefully it's helpful.

If these are the only Parameters you set then you are running in V/F mode, which won't be a problem for the OP as well once he set his main Parameters
If your VFD Drive is matching then you won't have a problem as well, but you do need to set more Parameters than that or you will be just running in V/F mode, which does not have any problem doing this in auto tune, it is when you use it in Vector mode that the VFD Drive is not working correct

I have the parameters set to match what is on the spindle.
P2.01=4.2
P2.02=400
P2.03=24000
P2.04=220
P2.05=11.2
P0.03=400
P0.04=400
i'm not using the keypad, so I don't think I set P0.06.
I am also using 1 phase power.
thanks again
Ok this is what you need to set to get you going, Check that the Ground Terminal has continuity Pin 4 to Spindle Body if not this will have to be corrected
These are what you need set

400Hz 220v 4.2 Water Cooled Spindle Settings
P0.00=0 ( 0 for V/ F Control 1 For Vector Control )
P0.01=0 ( 0 For KeyPad 1 For Remote Terminal Use )
P0.02=3
P0.03=400
P0.04=400
P0.05=120 ( you may be able to go lower depending on Spindle Temperature 100 Minimum )
P0.06=400
P0.11=10 ( adjustable Acceleration )
P0.12=10 ( adjustable Deceleration )
P0.14= 6 ( 6 to 8 )
P0.17= ( 1 to Restore Factory Defaults ) ( 2 clears all Faults )
P1.01=10
P2.01=4.2 ( Motor Settings )
P2.02=400
P2.03=24000
P2.04=220
P2.05=11.2
P7.14= ?? ( VFD Rated KW )
P7.15= ?? ( VFD Rated output Amps )
Once these Parameters are set, you can then do a Autotune, you set Parameter P016=1 and Press Run, ( The Spindle Must Be Clear To Run )
For main input Power wiring connect R Hot T Hot and Ground to the Ground Terminal, this is your connection for NA 240v single Phase

Mactec54,
I'm unfamiliar with the "Speed Control Mode" between V/F and Vector Control... what are the advantages of using Vector Control?
It also looks like its P0.00 = (1 or 2) not sure which I would choose... and if that is the only setting needing to be change to set it up.

You are best staying with 0 as V/F as you would not see any difference, If you did want to try, it won't hurt anything, you would use ( 1 ) and then Auto Tune, if it does not run well after, then go back to ( 0 ) and Auto Tune again
You would not see much difference with your spindle as the Torque is linear, there would be very little change if any from 12,000RPM to 18,000RPM
It seems you only missed ( 1 ) main Parameter Minimum Speed P0.05 needs to be set at your spindle minimum speed spec's if it is Air cooled by the built in fan then the minimum speed would be around 12,000 RPM

Had a chance to check and change parameters to what is listed above.
Then I ran the auto-tune, still errored out with OV3, but might have ran longer before doing so. I didn't time either run, so I cant say for sure.
I have noticed that on occasion the spindle makes a high pitched squealing noise randomly, then it goes away. Not sure if its related or not?
thanks for all you help!

What mode did you try it in just do a regular P0.00=0 if this does not work and you have all the Parameters set correct
It seems for that fault you have an input power problem, what is your supply what amperage do you have available You most likely will need a line filter and may be a reactor as well

Spindle to VFD Drive cable is this 4 core and shielded
30 amp is not enough for your VFD and spindle using single phase, your VFD is really to big for your spindle a 5.5Kw would be a better size, as the 7.5Kw is bordering max for single phase supply
If you can change the VFD to a 5.5KW and you would need at least a 45A supply, I would start with a Filter which has to be rated for the max input amps of your VFD Drive when using single phase power, not the rating you see for 3ph power
Any Breaker and its circuit's has to be sized correct for Code requirements, the input amps on single phase can be as much as double the output amps, when using single phase power, your Mains Breaker should be sized 125% more than the max input amps for the VFD Drive on single phase and wiring to match, the snip is what the output amps can be for a motor on single phase power
