    In this episode of AccessToPower, we show you how to wire up and use an ice cube relay to start a VFD drive when it is programmed to start with a 2 wire start signal. We used an 8 pin relay with a start-stop button and a 3-wire start stop circuit to open and close the relay. We then used the other Normally open contact on the relay to start the drive.

    For motor controls I think this is the best channel on RUclips. Your videos are thorough and very well explained.

    Excellent video Walter! I have been looking for hours for how to setup a remote start for a VFD powering a 3 phase motor on a table saw. Yours by far is the simplest, most straight forward with a clear explanation of how to do it using an Ice Cube Relay and the functionality of that relay. This video provides background support for your other video: "Starting a VFD with 2-wire Start". Thank You!

    New at this, just moved from Maintenance Mechanic to Instrumentation and Electrical Tech., i struggle to understand how is it that the motor keeps running after the start button was let go. Saw this video and is very simple, Thanks A lot.

    I did learned something even being a Industrial Electrician years back. Id usually just use the start / stop etc inputs on the drive though. I personally never have wired a relay to drive like that before so it was a great vid.

      If I understand your question correctly, you should be able to connect a timer circuit in the same way that the float circuit is connected in the video link here. ruclips.net/video/1J36SgPABFo/видео.html

    Why doesn't the power from 1 and 3 cause a short against the line? Or maybe electricity doesn't work this way

    • @AccessToPower
      @AccessToPower  3 года назад

      If you look carefully at the schematic about minute mark 2:40 you will see that 1,2, & 3 all originate from the same source. Therefore they are the same potential.

    You're using 10amps for VFD and motor control yet say that 10amp relay not to be used with anything requiring a load? 10amp is the common rating for general residential use, lights and power points, here in Australia.

    • @AccessToPower
      @AccessToPower  3 месяца назад +1

      The 10 amp relay is being used to on the control circuit of the VFD… not the motor circuit. The current on the control for a start signal is measured in milliamps.
