VFD Converter,Variable Frequency Drive,220VAC Single Phase Input to 220V Three Phase,for Motor/Spindle Speed Rotation (HY Series 220v 4kW-5HP Model)

I have 4 of these operating pumps 24/7 365 since 2020. They are in a hot environment, so I have a 4" computer style fan laying on top of each controller drawing up to assist with heat management. The internal fan is probably not up to this task once the heat sinks become dirty after a year or two. Heat kills silicon, so it is well worth the extra $10 investment for an external fan. I am using external control of speed and also using another input as a safety fallback to keep the pumps idling at 20hz in the case of a blockage or other water issue. Make sure they are mounted vertically (as shown in the product photo) for proper airflow.

Works well on Bridgeport clone. I have it locked to 60hz because I’m using a Varispeed. The motor doesn’t see designed to cool at low speeds so I won’t be using variable frequency until I replace w good Baldor

Worked great for 3 months and then started arcing when plugged into the 220 outlet. It did this several times and stopped working. Junk it looks like. How about a replacement? I have an identical one on another motor that is still working. But that machine has not been used as much.

Works great, easy to program, much better implementation of integration options than the slightly less expensive VFDs. I will never buy a less expensive model, the Huanyang is the way to go. Has been reliable for me.

Downgraded to the HY series because I couldn’t get GT series inverter to work correctly. I really wanted the GT series, but after struggling to get it working correctly I gave up and bought the HY series instead. Tech support was useless. Between the time difference (US vs China) and the lack of a flowing conversation (wait 12 hours for each response and hope they understand what you’ve asked), you’re pretty much on your own with these. The broken English manuals are horrible, but they’re not always easy to interpret. If I had endless time to mess with it, the GT would probably work, but after 2-3 weeks I’ve had enough. Time to move on.

Purchased this along with a 400Hz 2.2KW water-cooled spindle. Seems well made and performs well. Only gave 4 stars because the manual is confusing and there is no reference to any support contacts. Be prepared to spend some time on Youtube and CNC forums to learn how to set the various parameters. The manual is pretty complete, but hard to read; the translation from Chinese to English leaves something to be desired. For example, I had everything working except the front panel speed control knob did not work. Turns out that Parameter 002 has to be set to "1". "0" means that the speed is set with the up/down arrows, which the manual calls the "operator board".

This is a pretty solid inverter so far for running my three-phase lathe off of single phase 240 volt. I had to get a seven and a horsepower vfd so that I could run a 3 horsepower lathe. This drive still can't start the motor at high speed without a 12 second ramp time. This manufacturer overrates their Drive by at least half to two-thirds. not a bad buy for the money, just make sure you grotesquely oversize the drive you think you're going to need for your application in order to be reliable. There's a fair amount of support for these drives on the interweb, but several of the popular CNC forums have banned their discussion as a topic, because so many people have had bad luck with them. I must have got one that was built on a Tuesday morning because this one seems to hum right along and lived a fairly long life in my welding shop. This particular device runs at Wheat State welding LLC in Derby Kansas and is installed on a three-horsepower 15x60 lathe. 6/27/23: 3 1/2 years later this drive is humming right along. I haven't had a single issue. I have a smaller one as a cnc router spindle drive that works good to. 4

This unit was installed on my 60 year old Craftsman drill press. The drill press's spindle would never run slow enough for large drills or several other applications. I replaced the original single speed motor with a three phase motor and powered it through this VFD drive. I now have an infinite range of speeds from barely turning up to very high rpm's. Torque is surprisingly high, even at very low speeds.
