My VFD came in I researched it and had it setup to run the motor. The motor would not run.
I have a old 1 HP 3 phase motor connected it up to the VFD it ran fine.


I old motor resistance was good. I took it apart and it had a ton of dirt in it. The local motor repair wanted $40 to test it.
I am not going down that rabbit hole.



I found this true 5 HP single phase motor on ebay. It had a best offer. I offered $375 and they took it.
Leeson 131537.00 Electric Motor 5 HP 1725 rpm 1PH 230 VAC Single 184T Frame.

This should be a good motor for it.
It will run full power now anyway.
Same motor as this one.
