    Up/Down buttons for speed are bullshit. Ditto for volume in a car. "You know what the customer wants? To complete 20 actions in 20 seconds instead of 1 action in 1 second." Ditto for microwaves. Remember when microwaves were just a dial, that automatically started the machine when you turned it past zero because it correctly presumes you want to heat food right fuckin' now and a few seconds head start is good practice? Nowadays you must use PRECISION control over your food. Dialin' fuckin NORAD launch codes into the machine, 20 digit beep booping horseshit when all I give a fuck about is the nearest 15 seconds.

    Hey Ave, at 11:36 those are DBC (direct bonded copper) substrates, which is a copper/ceramic/copper sandwich, where the ceramic is Al2O3 (alumina), maybe toughened with zirconia. It's actually pretty tough stuff, and despite their simplicity, they are very important in the miniaturization of power electronics. The cost of that module from Infineon by itself is a significant chunk of the cost of the whole product. I work as a technology developer engineer in automotive, and because I work on these bastards daily, I can tell you that a lot of work goes into designing them so they can fulfill their lifetime requirements. At least in automotive.

    Usually, you can set the pulse frequency. I made the experience, that if you run them on say 2 kHz they have the annoying whimper of the vibrating coils but the Motor is WAY more efficient and torqie at low speeds. If you run the drive at 16 kHz, you won't hear anything, but the mechanical parts. This goes to the cost of efficiency. Some Drives give you the ability to have a dynamic switching frequency that adjusts with the current flow (at the most of them that have that feature, you can´t even turn it off). At low current ist uses a high frequency, but if you really need the torque it goes down to a lower switching frequency to get the best efficiency for the best comfort. And there is even more advanced stuff. One of my drives can use a white noise pattern for switching, to get the stress of the bearings (else you will see, the small indents from the switching the housing after some service years) and to get a softer run at low speeds.

    This is a true story. (I will let you decide the veracity of my story.) While working maintenance on wastewater pumping stations, we had a number of Gorman-Rupp pumps with General Electric vari-drive units. Having a problem with one panel, I contacted the original supplier to schedule a repair wizard to help round up the pixies. They sent a fresh faced young man who came into the building and exclaimed when he opened up the panel, "WTF!!! These units are older than I am!!" I then told him if he thought the drives were old, he should check out the stormwater pumps outside. Those beasts are older than me. The poor child didn't understand how we could run equipment on the dark side of a half century. Kids today just don't appreciate quality equipment....

    That was fun. I happen to be an AB test engineer (well, ok Rockwell Automation, as RA holds onto that AB meatball cause everyone liked it, but it is all RA). A couple things, those 3 white components are not diodes, CT's (Hall effect), that monitor the output phase currents to the motor. The MOV's would be on the input, as I don't believe your would put them on the motor side, but strange that there are 3, since the input is single phase. The rectifier is actually likely built into the IGBT, which they refer to as the powerpack, as it typically contains the "6-pack IGBT's" along with the rectifier diodes, and a single brake IGBT. That relay out be a general purpose relay, that the end user can do for many things, and would be configured through some menu on the drive. They are typically used to connect some type of start/stop circuit. As for not having a real "dial", the user would/could use a simple potentiometer, and the terminal block would provide the low voltage/power reference and the wiper wires back to an analog input. So, you can easily add a simple pot to control speed. This requires programming the drive for the type of control you wanted, which would be VIA an analog input. It is amazing how similar that complete drive looks to the drives I have worked on over the past 30+ years. I guess the use the old adage "Never let another's ideas evade your eyes, plagiarize" ! Thanks for that tear down, it made me almost want to go to work on Monday...

If i remember correctly this problem only happened on the bigger stuff like 25 hp and up.

    Apologies if this was mentioned by others but if you want to use a VFD to run a 3 phase motor on single phase it’s a good idea to upsize the drive by 1/3rd. Use a 3 hp. drive for a 2 hp. motor, 7.5 hp. drive for a 5hp. motor etc. The diodes in the rectifier section are rated for 3 phase power and will be overloaded when you pull the same amount of power on single phase. Also, the DC bus voltage is lower so the IGBT’s run at a longer duty cycle on single phase. A VFD is not a general purpose inverter! The output is an unfiltered jumble of high frequency pulses that only a motor or a resistive load can handle. If you connect anything with a transformer or capacitor to the output of a VFD the magic smoke will be released. This is important to know if the machine has reversing contactors, brake coils or control transformers. Connect the VFD directly to the motor, only the motor, and keep the wiring as short as possible. Not all motors like to run off of a VFD. Some will heat up. Also, when fed 480 volts 3 phase, the VFD puts out pulses that are close to 1000 volts in amplitude. That’s hard on the insulation of an older motor. That's why they make "inverter rated" motors nowadays. I had a boss - an electrical engineer, no less - that honestly thought VFD’s were perpetual motion machines! Against my advice, he connected a 240 volt VFD to transformers to run a 480 volt motor. The firework were impressive!

    Just remember that the control side is probably riding on one of the HV power rails, so any oopsie with the control board itself to a ground results in a very very dead control board with most of the teeny tiny parts blown all to smoke, and a very dead drive. Control inputs are isolated, but extend the control panel to remote mount it and that entire board and the cables are essentially connected direct to the mains via a single diode, and any short in the cable or the mounting will result in a bang, especially if the control panel gets any sort of water ( like water based coolant) splashed on it and it gets past the almost non exiting sealing of the front panel.

    Interesting vijeo! One thing though about the "confuser/brain-box" and the way they are set up in these devices. The simpler ones uses scalar control without feedback-signal, sometimes referred as Volts/Hz-control. The more advanced drives usually gives additional features that uses feedback, with sensor, or sensorless, to measure motor-RPM (or the "slip"?), and if the confuser finds the rpm have dropped due to motor-load, the confuser can in real time adjust (increase) the output frequency to compensate for the decreased rpm. Within the margin the motor can handle off course, heat is always the enemy... I don't know much about VFD:s, but i own a small British Lathe like you, but mine is a Myford ML7, smaller than the Boxford, and I plan to buy a VDF to the 0,37kW 3phase ABB induction motor to be able to drive it on single phase 230VAC (Standard in Sweden), and to control the speed slightly when chatter occurs when turning metal...

Hell, I don't even need to mess with programming cables anymore... you can connect via WiFi. I've been running one in particular in a hot and moist boiler room just really abusing the crap out of the PLC and the Pi. Nothing but a bit of spray-on conformal coating and some heatsinks and they're have been running smooth like BUTTAH. $150 of consumer grade gear and some C# can go pretty damn far even in industrial environments.

    FYI, that relay you thought was for power switching is for status output. It's connected to terminals R1O/R1C/R1, and there are probably options in the drive setup menu to configure it for fault, run status, etc. I'm not familiar with this specific drive, but nearly every one I've worked with has similar capability.

    The relay is direct relay output, a floating switch output with normally closed and normally open contacts for powering a pump, lamp or something else that needs higher power without using a contractor. It is internally programmable to switch on starting the motor, on reaching designated RPM, on braking or some other condition. It can also work as emergency stop.

    You can configure the drive to vary the speed based on a signal you provide. You dont have to only use the buttons on the keypad. The Durapulse drives are really easy to configure how you want.

    Hey AvE, long time lurker, first time poster here. My grandpa and I are big fans. I'm reaching out in hopes that you could both make a neat video and help me, and maybe some others out a bit. I noticed in one of your recent videos you were showing interest in doing some videos on simple circuits/arduinos and such, and I got an idea for you. My grandpa worked as a greasemonkey for case construction equipment for longer than fire has existed, and seeing as he's been ridden hard and put away wet in his 70 odd years of bumblefuckery his hearing ain't what it used to be. His hearing aid that he's had for as long as I can remember finally bit the dust last month. Whilst shopping around for a new one (it's not covered under his health insurance) we realized quickly that even the chinesium models are ($$$)^2 levels of expensive. The other day we were out pigging out on italian food and I got to wondering if it were possible to build a hearing aid out of an arduino and some headphones. So first thing I did was hop on the smartphone and look for an "app for that", low and behold I found an app called fennex, plugged in my headphones, and passed it to the old man. He got real quiet real quick; turns out the dinky little free app, a decent pair of headphones, and an iphone was performing better than his old hearing aid ever could. Fuck yea, proof of concept confirmed so I hopped on the gargler and promptly found a DIY guide on a home made hearing aid. Only problem is that seeing as I'm just a wee clipboard warrior in training, the schematics for the circuitry are a few standard deviations above my pay grade. What I'd really like to do is be able to use the guide's provided schematic and ship it off to get a 1 off prototype PCB printed to maximize portability for him to carry around when all is said and done, but I got no clue how to interpret the PCB manufacturer's parameters and how to apply them to the schematic I have available. So to wrap up I guess I'm just looking for someone somewhere to have any kinda clue on how a 100% novice like me could begin tackling a project like this. Any info/help from you, a viewer, the wife, dewclaw, the dog, ANYONE, would be appreciated beyond measure. Thanks, Uncle Willy P.S. A link to the guide I found with schematics and all can be provided on request as I wish to avoid any youtube auto-moderator bots flagging the comment as spam for including a link to an outside web page.

    In case no one else has said it, just use a good quality linear potentiometer from the +10v to one of the AI's for a control knob instead of the buttons. Just have to set the AI control reference and not too fast of a ramp time. (like 20-30 seconds) The only inconvenience is that it's not integral to the control panel.

    @4:30 Quartz vibrates when electricity is applied to it. The frequency of the oscillation can be adjusted by machining the quarts to a specific shape. Proper timing is achieved when two capacitors are go through charging and discharging cycles and keep the quartz oscillator locked at that frequency.

    Ave the reason for the different sized capacitors might have to do with their frequency response. Usually the smaller ones can operate to a higher frequency. So the big capacitors store more energy for the inverter and the smaller one clamps down the higher frequency transience.
