VFD Converter,Variable Frequency Drive,110v Single Phase Input to 110v Three Phase Output (for power ≤3HP three-Phase Motor/Spindle) 0-400hz Speed Rotation (HY Series-110v 2.2kW 3HP Model)

I purchased this to use on a drill press, connected to a 3 phase motor. Works great, the instructions are a little hard to follow, but you can figure it out.

I really wanted a cheaper alternative to the more expensive units. I purchased the 110v/3hp, running a 3 phase 2.2kw 2.01 hp motor with 110v input from a standard wall plug. I took a chance on this due to some good reviews. I installed the VFD on a small lathe and I have to say that it performs very well. The manual should be rewritten by a technical writer because if someone doesn’t have any experience with VFD’s it could be challenging to setup. In this case it was a fairly simple project and the Huanyang VFD was a great alternative. The one thing that really took me by surprise is the responsiveness of their technical support and shipping time. Tech support answered questions within a few hours and shipping was 5 days! I can’t get service like that from the joint down the road that gouges me every time I walk in the door or call. Since it’s been installed I’ve really run it hard. So far so good! I’m happy all around with this unit and will be buying more.

I used this to control the 240v 3 phase AC motor in my shop made belt grinder. I chose this model because of its 120v single phase input rating, expecting to have to upgrade it to get the full 2 HP out of my motor, and even ordered another Huanyang VFD rated for 220. Because I'd already had it connected I decided to plug it into the 220V outlet, and was pleasantly surprised to find that with minimal software setting modification: A) it turned on and runs and B) is harder to stall out when pressing a workpiece against the platen than on 120V. Best part is that it's effectively dual-voltage without doing anything special. It can output higher than line voltage to some degree - I have seen 130 3 phase output with a 110VAC single phase input. Double that for 220v. I knocked off a star because the manual is borderline garbage for someone who isn't already familiar with the programming, and because the screw terminals for the motor and power inputs are sized for 14AWG. I was able to get the 12AWG to fit, but it was very tight and I would have liked to have been able to terminate the ends with crimped ferrules. The rubber dust pads covering the holes in the underside of the unit also leave something to be desired - the one round hole fits a 1/2" clamping style strain relief for either the motor leads or power in, but the other connections are left to flap in the breeze. Not a deal breaker if you're mounting it in an enclosure, but if you're leaving it out then it's not enough. Do I regret buying this guy? Nope. Will I buy another of these when this unit dies? The jury's still out, but I'm closer to yes than no.

I struggled to get control of my 2.2kw spindle through mach4 with the Huanyang VFD, even though the spindle could be controlled via the operator interface of the VFD. I found UCCNC and was able to have complete control of the spindle with only 2 wires using RS-485. The settings in the VFD were easy to do, and as far as most manuals their explanation of each setting was pretty clear. I would definitely recommend this VFD for any type of motor. In fact I now have 2 of them, I'll use the 2nd as a backup, or build another machine.

This VFD is rated for 20 amps. My spindle is rated at 12 amps. I did a system reset so I can input the settings for my spindle and tried to change PD142 to 12 and the maximum it will go to is 11 amps. PD174 shows that the factory set amps to 11, what the heck!?!? Why are you advertising it as 20 amps.

Bought this VFD for driving a 2x72 belt grinder. VFD arrived quickly and was very well packaged. Design, construction and components seems to be quite good. Was pleasantly surprised that the VFD came with an extensive manual! Even though some of the language was a bit rough, all information for any conceivable application was covered. So far the VFD has worked flawlessly. As I have a several 110V 3-ph motors and drives for that configuation are not that common, I will order more.

100% off lable use, and dropped it 3 feet onto concrete... it still worked! Yes, this can run an average size SIGLE PHASE window air-conditioner. The frequency needs to be fixed at 60hz and the voltage programmed for 115v, but yes it works and it has forgiven several of my mistakes. (DO NOT RUN A SIGLE PHASE MOTOR SLOWER THEN ITS RATED HZ, UNLESS YOU KNOW 100% WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!! I tried it, my advise is, don't.) The down side: As long as it's powered, the fan always runs. That can be annoying after a while. I may mod that to run only when it's outputting AC. Relay, simple enough. I'm only only running it 60hz,110v anyway.

Very nice VFD controller, the number of parameters available for tuning is impressive and a bit imposing. I particularly enjoy being able to set precise values for maximum voltage and current, as well as the amount of time it will spend increasing the speed until it reaches the target RPM value. The latter means you can drive very heavy motors/devices that would otherwise instantly overload the controller, as well as preventing the motor from accelerating too quickly while adjusting the speed via the front control knob. It would be nice to have a more detailed display since it only shows a single value at one time (Defaults to the RPM), having voltage and current consumption would be very useful. FYI the application I'm using this controller for is to drive a 24V turbomolecular pump. The blade assembly is very heavy and without a very slow acceleration it trips the current limiting, so with the right parameters set it works very well with this controller.

The service at huanyang is amazing. The service representative was very knowledgeable and helpful, I was very impressed, we don't have this kind of customer service in Canada.

Worked great for me out of the box
