Any Canadians in need of 575v VFD

What do they need for input? How much do you want?

Hey Iggy,

How much? And approx shipping weight, or $ cost from your US zip code to US zip 48146 (metro Detroit 'burb).

I see Adam Smith replied too, but for some reason I see the header but not the message, so lemme know what he said too please. If "we" do it, I'd pick them up for both of us in Detroit if he wants.

I did not see Adam's message.

The price is $220 US plus actual shipping, I have more than one (2 or

3). I would prefer to not combine the shipping, as they are already in nice molded foam shipping boxes, very easy to ship. I will not charge any "handling" on these.

Unfortunately, I cannot power them up to test (500-600v), but will give you a 5 day inspection privilege, you pay all shipping costs.

I am not near my shed right now, but I would say the weight is 20 lbs per packed padded box.

These Siemens VFDs are surplus from closing of Siemens building near Chicago, I think they were never mounted anywhere.

Adam, I missed your post somehow, please see my another reply, sorry.

They need 500-600v for input.

Oh yeah, I can ship two boxes to the same US zipcode, but in two separate shipments.

Hey again Iggy,

I should have thought out or asked a few sensible questions first, before getting excited.

I think for most of us here (RCM), we see the VFD as a means of getting three phase from a single phase source, such as 220/110 residential service. I don't deny they have other important purposes, and for sure the ones you have do, but the 1 to 3 is the "main attraction".

In Canada, if you have a source of 575 or 600 available, you have three phase already. Doesn't come any other way. So, if what you have requires that voltage input, it isn't economically feasible to install these.

Sorry 'bout that.

ps....offer to pick up in Detroit is still open for Adam if he wants.

Brian, thanks for the very kind offer! For the moment I'm going to pass on Iggy's offer, though.

I do appreciate your offering to include me in your arrangements, though.
