Motor upgrade

It will 8 and 2 together not 5 and 2. I am guessing that this is a 3ph motor?

Yes, wire it for the Low voltage. The numbers are kinda blurry in the picture, so just nut them together the way the diagram says for low voltage.

Thanks for the feedback.

I gave the motor and vfd a test run last night. Seems to be working good. I was surprised at the amount of noise the little vfd puts out. The little fan really blows.

I did notice a slight wining noise coming from the motor. It is not very loud, but I am concerned that I might not have something right with it. It increases when I turn up the speed. But even at full speed, it is not very loud.

Any thoughts?

Probably the high switching cycle of the VFD in combination with loosening windings in the motor. Is it a drive rated motor?

I think it is drive rated. They came as a package??? How can I tell?

It should say on the nameplate.
