I want to convert my Tom Senior M1 to 3ph. The manual says the main motor is 1hp and the s-type head should be 1/2hp. I want to run these using a 1ph VFD. Is there any benefit in getting larger motors than the originals or will it just risk overloading the machine? I've been looking at bearing boys for motor and VFD. Is it just a case of matching the VFD to the motor or do i need to spec the VFD larger than the motor?
Thanks for any advise.
