Best VFD source
Anyone have suggestions on a good place to get a good deal on a 1 HP VFD 110v in 230v out? I checked E-bay and didn't see much.
This outfit seems pretty well regarded, I've seen a number of recommendations for their GS1 line.

The two VFDs I have are ACTech and I like them a lot, but they're a little more expensive, I'll probably try Automation Direct for the next one.

I have a couple that I stole off of eBay - a digital that cost me $80 and an analog that cost my $70. Both are brand new, but it took me serious time to find them. That said, the analog has a $250 retail price, and the digital $550. Both are current products on grainger.com.
I have to rig a hall-effect sensor for the digital control though. It won't function without a feedback sensor. Luckily, I can make one with about $20 in parts from mouser.com, and avoid paying $100+ for the official Dart Controls one.

Bloody hell! Damn good deal, man. My cheapskate soul is proud of you.KurtHuhn wrote:I have a couple that I stole off of eBay - a digital that cost me $80 and an analog that cost my $70.
