VFD switch wiring... please check my work

[Wayne Coe]

If a 3 phase motor is not running in the desired direction swap any two wires in the motor to the VFD, or plug, or switch. By changing your switch wiring you did the same thing but at the switch rather than at the motor. Of course the way you did it you only had to change wires in the switch rather than in each motor. If you wanted to have each motor run in differing directions you would change the wires in one motor. You could have accomplished the same thing by reversing any two wires in the VFD.

jspake - What switch are you using for this and were did you get it?

 

[Motor City Mike]

You could always add a forward/reverse switch.

Useful for a disk grinder and incredibly easy to install in the KBAC

jspake, It sure is, We go shopping in Newnan regularly. Don't know when you were there last, but it's a pretty big place now. It reminds me of the suburbs of St. Louis, which is were I grew up.
