Paladin Industrial US70 dirt screen with 3 phase motor set up to run on single phase 240v.

Most 240v VFD's will run a 3 phase motor as long as you double the HP of the motor. Bigger is usually better but gets exponentially more expensive. A 10 HP drive will run a 5 HP motor.

I really appreciate the videos! I purchased one and I'm working on the same set up. I want to get mine a stretch from the shed like yours. What size cable did you run from the panel to vfd and vfd to screener?

@SharpExcavation Ай бұрын

Mine has 10-3 SO cable to the vfd and 12-4 SO cable from vfd. There are a lot of wire size calculators on the internet for the distances you need. Should be about 9 amps to vfd and 4.5 amps out. If it has the same motor as mine. I would buy a 1 1/2 HP vfd if I were to do it again. But mine runs great at 30hz.

Did you re-wire factory setup? I have orange on U, gray on V, black on W1. Wanting to hook up just like yours

@SharpExcavation 3 ай бұрын

yea the cord was cut when i got it from shipping.

@SharpExcavation 3 ай бұрын

you will also know if its running backwards because the screener will move backwards. when its running correctly it will stay in place. to reverse direction just switch any two hot wires.

Can you show your wire configuration on the motor under the plate?

there is an excellent video explaining the phases at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLRnotuntJy0kw.htmlsi=_p8TmcvbRBIVfZV. i will try to post a picture of my configuration later. mine is wired star configuration. about at 2:30 in the video.

Does your machine have a dual voltage motor on it?

@SharpExcavation 3 ай бұрын

most 3 phase motors can be run on 240v and 480v it just doubles the amps on the lower voltage.

Do you have a link or source of where you purchased the vfd? Thanks for the video

@SharpExcavation 4 ай бұрын

I got off it off eBay. WEG VFD CFW300A04P2S2NB20 200-240V / 1PH 1HP is the one i purchaseed for about a $125 nib. i would purchase a larger one maybe 1.5 hp as mine doesn't let it run at 60hz. but it operates well at 30hz and keeps it within rated amps. Automation direct is a good source and they are very helpful with any questions.

Do u have a picture of the wiring u did to get it to 240 volt 3 phase. Mine has 6 terminals with jumpers across the top.

Mine worked great until it shook itself into a million pieces.....

@SharpExcavation Ай бұрын

I've only been able to use mine for about 30 yards of topsoil it's been too wet it just turns to mud. What broke? It seems to be made with quality parts and the welding is very good. Mine runs at half speed also so it's less violet. But works great when dirt is dry.

@SharpExcavation those screens are designed to be bent at the edges, rest in a frame, and be pulled under tension to achieve strength. My mounting tabs broke off at the wire and all the diverter pieces vibrated loose. Bolts on the motor also vibrated loose and now it has quit as well....
