Update 2 on Quincy compressor and VFD
I have found approximately 170 microfarads of extra capacitance, in
bits and pieces. Wired them in. Set the V/f curve to linear (setting 0). I set the max frequency to 20 Hz. With that, the compressor spins, runs, pumps, and the motor goes to 33% of its proper RPM. DC Bus Voltage drops from 320 volts to approximately 255 volts when the motor is in action. So it is a little victory, sort of. Trying to set frequency to 25 Hz results in the motor getting stuck and stopped. So, it seems that extra capacitance helps, but I need much more. I have ordered extra capacitors on eBay (electrolytic type, rated at 500 VDC). I hope that maybe 1,000 uF would be about right. Perhaps, for conservatism, I will supply them from a separate rectifier, I have a pair of IRKDL71-06S02 rectifiers. It would be a mess and I would prefer not to do it. i |
