VFD question

SRF · 2003-10-02T23:31:19+00:00

I'm getting closer to having my little hobby shop up and running. It willhave a Bridgeport mill, South Bend lathe and vertical bandsaw. All arethree phase and, as I look at other goodies like buffers, it seems likeolder equip with three phase motors sell pretty reasonably.So, I'm thinking about a VFD to power all the toys. The machines wouldalways be used one at a time so having one VFD would be all that I need butis there an issue with cable length? I was thinking I could just mount theVFD on the wall and run one cable to each machine that is plugged in asneeded. Obviously some of these cable might be up to 20 feet. Is this aproblem?ThanksSteve.
