Also the solenoids are 240.

Ok I will have to get pictures tomorrow but the machine is a Peterson Powerstroke HC-1DP. The guy I bought it from ran it for me when I picked it up so I know it all worked before. From what I'm reading I'll have to get an actual phase converter and not the VFD if I want to run just the...

To start off, I know next to nothing about electrical. I bought a VFD to power my engine hone and it will only work with the wires ran straight to the 3 phase motor. The up and down pneumatic movement doesn't work even with air connected. I'm not sure if the VFD is sending the power to it...

Thank you. I'll get some more pictures up when I get it cleaned up and running. Thanks for the warning. I actually went with this one because my uncle has one running his lathe at his shop. It's been going for 3+ years now with no issues so fingers crossed I have the same luck.

Thanks for the replies guys. This is my machine and I went with this vfd, 10/3 wire, and a dual 30amp breaker...

I guess I'm getting a VFD for a 3hp motor. The motor it will be running is 2hp but I was told to go a little higher.

Hooking up my engine hone today hopefully. I'll be running it to a phase converter. Can anyone tell me from the information on the tag which breaker I will need. I think I need a dual pull 20 or 30 amp but that is just a guess. Thanks in advance.

I ran it under the entire slab on mine aside from where the car lift is going. I would have done the whole floor but I wanted a little more strength under the lift.

The concrete was poured yesterday!! I was quoted $750 for parts and labor to run a new service to the garage since my house is only set up with a 60amp service. I may just upgrade the house service and run a line from there to the garage though, I'm not sure what I want to do yet. Any...

Yes I can't wait. My contractor is going hunting this next week so I probably won't get the concrete until 2 weeks from now. Awesome. The hardest part of it for me was fighting the coils of the Pex without kinking them. I started grabbing the entire roll and spinning circles with it to open...

Half of the garage Pex lines went in today. The rest are going in tomorrow then, hopefully, I'll have concrete poured next week.

More progress. Almost ready for siding. I have to pull 12" off the bottom OSB and patch in some treated plywood because the inspector said the OSB is too close to the ground. The contractor will be getting the ground leveled for the concrete this week then I can lay my foam and pex lines for the...

Hello, added a location :thumbup: For the overhead door opening I was required to put in a 14" double LVL header. the contractor notched the post out to make up for it so they added a spacer block to fill in the 2" taken out under the normal 2x12" header. The man door will be framed in 2' off...

Thanks! Yeah the contractor brought in the fill dirt, dug the post holes, set the post and the tresses. He will be doing the concrete as well. Everything else I have or will be doing. Thanks! I'm going to get a CNC once the garage is done as well as a 2 post lift. I already have a Peterson...

Hello, I had a post a while back asking about LVL and while I was searching the forums I thought I would post some updated pics of the project. I'm doing a 30x30 with 11' sidewalls and scissor trusses. The concrete will be 4" thick everywhere but under the car lift where it will be 6" thick...
