If you are seeing/hearing "motor slamming" where you didnt before..it
means you have rotational wear in your drive/gear train. Even with a
VFD..that wear will grow worse until its repaired. It will just grow
slower.


Yep, I already refurbished the motor shaft and bushings on the vari-drive
sheaves. That's now in good shape but wanted to minimize future wear due to
high starting torques.

This is a 230/460V motor that is currently wired for 230V (Delta). The 460V
connection would be a Wye iirc. How are VFDs typically wired to the motor?
Is it a three wire or six wire connection? This is all new to me.
