How to Program a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)
To create our tutorial video on how to program an inverter, we used the example of the model VF-NC3, produced by Toshiba.
This Toshiba single-phase inverter requires that the motor be connected in a star configuration to be powered by 230 three-phase; the inverter will then generate the missing third phase.
Through the menu keypad located on the front of the inverter, you can control the motor, using the “run” and “stop” buttons.
In the video, we will see how a selector, correctly connected, will allow us to operate the Toshiba inverter.
We will also see how to change the speed of the electric motor with the help of a potentiometer.
Just follow the instructions in the tutorial video to understand how easy it is to program a Toshiba inverter.
If you prefer, you can use a touch screen. With this system, one or more inverters can be controlled without using a PLC.
