i have not posted on forums previously please bear that in mind.
I have a PLC that controls two 230v single phase torque motors on a set of gates that run with 5uF capacitors. i need to slow the motor down in its final 30 degrees in order for the gate to gain safety compliance when force tested
The motors are:
Single Phase.
Voltage - 220VAC
Torque - 50Nm
5hp
Speed - 7.5 rpm
50hz
I have seen another similar gate with the same motors with four capacitors, one to each motor and an additional one to each motor switched via relay as a form of speed control. is this the best method?
I was told i could use a VFD with a single phase output as long as the voltage and HZ were adjusted simultaneously to prevent damaging the motor, but once again would this be OK? Could it damage the motor? it was a motor manufacturer offered this information.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you
