Hi all,
As a follow on from my previous posts about rewiring my vfd, I ran into a hiccup tonight - hoping someone can help me troubleshoot it.
As part of the project, I added a switch between the vfd and it's power source (220v ac). The switch I used was a 20a dpst toggle switch from the borg -poster on another form suggested that would be fine.
Got it all wired up, switched it on and crack! Sounded. No power to the vfd. Tried another outlet, same result.
I took the switch out and the vfd now powers up fine, so I'm guessing the switch wasn't up to the job? Or, do I need a fuse somewhere in this equation? and, how do I tell if the switch is toast?
Lastly, my compressor (which was off, but plugged in to another 220v outlet on the same circuit) now won't switch on. Did I kill it? How would I go about figuring out where the problem is?
Sorry for all the questions, and thanks for any help you can give!
