Here is my current situation.... Teco TM50 VFD hard wired on a dedicated 220v line.
I'm adding a disk grinder and want to use the same drive to control it. In the future I'd also like to add a horizontal grinder so I'd like to be prepared for that also.
With my limited knowledge of wiring I can think of 2 options
1. Wire a 220v outlet after the VFD and plugs on all of the motors and use a single, movable control box to house the Potentiometer and FWD-OFF-REV switch.
2. Wire a complete set of switches to change from KMG to Disk, then from Disk to Horizontal. The benefits being that each machine would have it's own set of controls and no plugs to mess with.
I'm curious if others have gone this route running multiple machines from a single VFD and how they approached the wiring and if they are happy with the set-up.
Thanks for any replies- Josh
