Soon as it cools off a bit, Ill go out and dig it out and see exactly
what it is. I had it on a 3/4 hp drill press but it sang so loudly
that it drove me nuts and replaced it with an older 1hp drive from
another manufacture.. I dont remember what it is, but Ill find out.


I'd be interested, because I'm going to re-fit this stupid machine. It
wouldn't work with the current control - being tied to some proprietary
Delta features - but would be fine (if it's big enough) for the Mach-3
installation I am planning to do.

Sorry Lloyd..its 3hp.

Ive been a huge fan of the PC3 vfds..they have been badged many
different ways...Yaskawa IRRC was the developer..and they are
really..really good drives.

Its a slightly updated PC3..so look at the photo and remember what
they look like. They often came badged as a Telemechanic(sp?) as well
as Magnatech and EMS

If it says GDP on the face anywhere..its likely to be the same
drive..different badging
