Hopefully I'm offering new information. Look for something called SO cord. A good starting point on selecting the right gauge is to look at the FLA on the motor nameplate. That motor nameplate will also give you a TON of other info that you can take to any sort of electrical engineering handbook and it will tell you what the requirements are for you to create a safe circuit. For safety, GET A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
As far as materials (compiling a complete list, some of which you may have already) - you may/will need:
I'm sure other people can think of more things than that.
As far as materials (compiling a complete list, some of which you may have already) - you may/will need:
- overload protection for the motor set to the FLA of the motor(similar to this: http://www.****************/Product...sl1t6ORh6UpCOn-z8uwgOp6p_gKhBVcyO4aAlW58P8HAQ)
- an input for the VFD to know how fast to run
- the VFD
- the motor
- your load cell (not necessary for wiring the motor, that sounds to be fairly standalone)
- Possibly 3 phase fuse holder depending on what's upstream of the outlet (here's some examples: http://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Circuit-and-Load-Protection/1492FB-Fuse-Holders)
- correct size and type of fuses (min. 125% of motor FLA)
- SO cord as mentioned above
- If this is not a standalone system, I assume it is going into a cabinet, so you may need to consider mounting hardware
- It sounds as though this IS a standalone system, you can get an outlet connector to match whatever your outlet is (be sure to meet or exceed the current and voltage ratings of the outlet) and that can be wired up by your electrician with the SO cord
- Mounting hardware/method for standalone system
I'm sure other people can think of more things than that.
