rhymebus vfd's ?

[ronan]

i have a three phase colchester master 2500 lathe at home that i got from work when it was surplus to requirements , the motor is a 5hp dual voltage input unit and i want to buy a variable frequency drive for it to run off single phase.
trouble is money is scarce at the moment and i see now on ebay that an english company is selling a vfd made by rhymebus.
anyone ever heard of this make ? the prices seem ok and i am just wondering what the quality is like . don't want to buy one if they are junk.

thanks

They have been about for long enough.Big enough company,just a matter of ensuring you buy the right thing.Ebay is not always the cheapest so find out who the agent is.

dont forget the suds pump too......


5hp is going to cost a bit... recently picked up a 3hp for about £220
