Hello to all
We have a several small inverters that are under rated, 1.5 FLA on the name plate on the motor, it has a 10 to 1 ratio gearbox, running speed is 45hz, the drive is large enough to handle 5 amps
I need more, its currently pulling close to 3 amps (and ever so slowly burning up the motors), if I change the gearbox to a 20 to 1 will that drop my FLA to 1.5? Not concerned with the speed reduction, I have time up to 15 minutes between cycles
Just trying to save a buck or two, any other ideas? and get what we should of got to begin with
As always many thanks
Mark
