Check it out. Just showed up on eBay. No affiliation and you need to double check everything (such as single phase rating). Just calling this to your attention.
Item number: 170159046557
Looks good. However, I should have an answer back from the power company in a few days about whether or not I can get 3-phase from them installed.
Thanks for the heads-up!

Take a look at 170159227929 on eBay. 60 hp VFD, just what I need for my irrigation well.
Two questions, is this a good price? (Yikes)
I bought a 460 60 hp. VFD, not knowing I couldn't just hop up the voltage. Any chance your idea of converting this to 230 will work? Enough $ here to justify some serious effort.
I don't need the new pump till next year. But, I have to play uncle Sam's tax game. Very simply - if you have business income - send it in. I can deduct a VFD and well pump. This was a good season so now is the time for equipment upgrade.

I remember having sold a 60 HP VFD for about $500. (in a working condition with a guarantee)
I wanted to try converting a 460v VFD to 230v, but have not had luck finding a cheap enough drive.
Tax deductibility simply means you have a 33% discount (or whatever is your marginal tax rate), it does not mean that you are getting it for free.

Actually, the number is more like 50%. 15 for uncle, 8 for his nephew (Minnesota), 15 more for self employment. If you're having a good year, send another 10 to uncle. Unless you get hit with AMT (alternative minumum tax), then you'd best just bend over.
I'll wait a bit longer on a VFD and I'm very intersted if you are able to convert a 460 to 230.

Karl, if I find something in those sizes, I will let you know.

Don't you have to depreciate it as capital equipment? Or do farmers have different rules? Bob
