Just to confirm also Gene.
My vfd only holds the motor at full torque to resist loads briefly. So it never actually causes problems I think the rating is 1min at the 150 percent rated torque. So it's only to respond to forces and make a good fast pid loop Not to run that way all the time On Tue, 13 Jun 2023, 16:19 Leonardo Marsaglia, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Wrong atribution Leonardo.
