I noticed the motor in the pic is 200V not 220 or 240. If you input 240V 
it will draw more amps and effectively be 7 1/2HP.

Yes, the mechanical parts of a 1750 motor are identical to those of a
3000 rpm motor (or whatever your 60Hz ones do) so they are generally
fine at double frequency.
One advantage of doing it this way rather than gearing up is that you
have more torque at the lower speeds.

I would expect the DC motor to perform better at low speeds than the
induction motor, though. If you can drive it.

Andy has it right, DC works better at low RPM. Double frequency is fine 
on a 1750 motor. I run a 5 HP 1750 at 140 Hz for 4200 RPM on my Hardinge 
CHNC. It lets me run at 2400 RPM tops and pulls a 5/8-11 tap at 200 RPM.

I am, corfam 30 mhz brick walls but in its series with the pi's 5 amp 
psu. Once I got the grounds straightened out I could probably remove the 
filter, OTOH its belt and suspenders too.

I'm also using a 2 pack of 400v, 40 amp SSR's turnd on by pushing the F2 
button on the keyboard, which when off, kills all power except for the 5V 
5A supply that runs the rpi4.  So the pi runs forever, drawing about 5 
watts. Uptimes with a little ups on the pi and a 20kw autostart generac 
in the back yard are phenominally long.

While that is true, my thinking is that if i gear it up so that 1700
RPM -> 2000 spindle RPM then I lose mre torque at low speeds through
the
gearring. On the other hand if the gearing is left as is then I just
lose torque when the drive is running at say 120 hz due to field
weakening.
But if the lathe is running that fast I am probably turning something
small in DIA and really don't need a lot of torque or HP So that is
why
I ask if it seems OK to run a 1700 RPM motor around 2X its nameplate
speed (its not an inverter duty motor) and I am a hobbyist. Is there
really much difference in the construction of a 3400 RPM induction
motor vs a 1700 RPM motor other than the number of poles? I mean the
rotor and bearings are probably similar?

That 320 says max peak amps so I don't think that is the continuous

Thanks Gene this is really helpful info to me. I don't think I would run the
drive faster than 2X the motor rated speed (120 hz) for the reasons you state as
well as for being nice to the lathe spindle bearings.  The lathe also has a
3 speed gearbox in the headstock.

When I built my new shop I had 200A service put in. I use Hubble Wireway
around the shop so it is easy to add or modify wiring and it keeps things neat.

I plan on putting the VFD drive close to the motor and well away from my other
linuxCNC controls.  Hopefully this will help with noise. Are you using
line input
filters with your drives?

John Figie

I'm using 2 of these but in the 1.5 horse sizing here, and they work 
extremely well when controlled totally by linuxcnc. For a 5hp, you'll 
need a 25 amp breaker in your service box. Thats a bit north of 10 gauge 
romex for a feed, so I'd use 8 gauge in conduit just to keep the 
inspectors happy. You might get by with a 20 amps and 10 gauge, but 
nuisance trips might be frequent, depending on how you have it tuned, and 
they don't come OOTB with anything like an optimum tune. They can be sped 
up for speed and direction changes by several orders of magnitude. My 
1.5hp can reverse a 1hp, in first gear belt position, turning the 35lb 
spindle 100 rpms, in .25 of a turn.  Thats somewhere between pretty fast, 
and damned fast. Belts slip if the pulleys are worn and bellyed out.

Because the motors have inductance which limits the current at higher 
hz's, you'll find that 5hp is pretty well out of torque at 200 hz. You 
won't hurt the motor doing it unless its cooling fan is weak, it might 
explode. And if you limit the low speed boost to the motors FLA rating, 
you'll reduce the nuisance trips, and gain the ability to run it at 5hz 
for long enough to get the job done w/o burning your hand on the motor. A 
4 pole motor, running at 400hz, will if it has enough torque, run at 
12,000 rpms, about 2x faster than it can actually turn. 6 grand, aka 200

At 320amps, that 300? stall torque is certainly not in in/lbs.

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] Be sure links are safe.

Now I am ready to figure out what to do for the spindle drive.

The project is a 1972 Clausig NC lathe. The original paper tape fed controls 
are long gone. I actually have the owners manual. The original lathe had a 5 HP 
motor and a variable speed transmission similar to bridgeport heads and many 
machines of that era. But that variable speed drive is no longer with the 
lathe. The next owner fitted a large PMDC motor to the machine - which I still 
have. IT is a beast of a motor with tachometer feedback. The nameplate has a 
continuous stall torque of 300 (in-lbs?), a peak amps rating of 320 amps, 4000 
RPM and 217 VDC.

Information in the manual indicates that original max spindle speed was likely 
2000 RPM. THe spindle is geared by a timing belt that has a motor pulley of 30 
and a spindle pulley of 47. The next owner of the machine - who I purchased the 
lathe from removed the DC motor and installed a 1750 RPM 5 HP 220V 3phase 
Baldor motor. The 5 HP baldor is currently mounted on the machine.

Now what to do about the drive for the spindle?

1) Keep the 5HP motor and use a VFD to run the motor faster to get my 2000 
spindle speed? 2000 * 47/30 = 3133 RPM. I don't have much experience with 
induction motor drives. Is is feasible to run my motor at nearly double it 
rated speed? Are these cheap single phase input VFDs any good?

More obviously, run the motor at its rated speed, change one of the pulleys
to give you your desired spindle speed.
