I want to buy a colechester triumph 2000. With a 5.5 kw motor.
Does anybody know if there is an inverter that can run off a 32amp 240v that will run it.
I don't think you'll find a domestic-market 5.5kw VFD, I remember reading somewhere that only up to 3hp or 3kw were 'approved' for UK domestic but I can't find the source of the info any more so it might be all bullwash. You can find Chinese units that powerful but you take pot luck on the quality.
Vary rarely you will be using the full 7 hp on the lathe 3 hp is quite adequate for most operations and you will still be able to take large cuts on the lower gear range.
