Got 10hp. On single phase 220 input its giving around 5.5 kw. To have 10 hp you need 3 phase input.But for my 5.5 kw motor its works good. I use single phase input and recive 3 phase output. This have a lot of parameters inside for different motors. Make sure you program your. Because it may not give you proper performance. Lets say you can program this for spindle motor that can give 30k rpm.

I have been using these for... 20 years. about 15% are duds right out of the box. However, when they do work, they work well and last several years.

There are a lot of unknowns with these fancy unitsNone of it matters if you’re simply using it for a shop item in your garage or barnTransform almost any three phase unit into regular household powerSpeed controller, and a simple on off hand wired switch. What a great product.

Strong inverter. Used 10 HP for our 5 HP motor (mill) - best fit. Excellent customer care. Spoke each day (would take a day to respond as we are in Canada) but received detailed messages and videos so we could fine tune our needs.

The manual is barely useable. YouTube is better but several videos required to figure it out.The clamping area for bringing in the wiring is narrow ( 1/2 “) and that material there is thin plastic. It seemed to do the job when I got it wired.

I bought a GT 7.5Kw 10Hp and it is too small to operate my 5Hp motor and it tells me that I cannot return it after one monthe; though, Amazon says I have 90 days.My motor require 35 Amp to operate. Before buying, I look for the inverter's amperage and it was not indicated; but, considering that it was specified for 10Hp, I bought it anyway. Iy start the motor using the stored power in the capacitors, but after 2 minutes, once the capacitors are depleted, the motor slows way down, which is unacceptable.Note, I have an inverter from another company that was specified as 35Amp and for a 10Hp motor. I did not expect the HuanYang 10Hp to be different. They should have specified the amperage.

I ordered two inverters one for a 2hp, and one for a 3hp motor, and they work awesome. I found them very easy to program and wire. I Will definitely order another one if needed. Great customer service. 👍

I'm currently dealing with the breaking resistor ...scam? I don't know what the deal is but after many emails back and forth I was told the top of their line 7.5kw model is the only one that comes ready to accept a resistor and so I shelled out the extra cash for it, many emails later i was told a 1000W 75ohm resistor was acceptable for this unit.. with everything wired as per their videos I hit start and let the bandsaw get up to speed, as soon as I hit the stop button it VIOLENTLY EXPLODED with my hand on the unit! sparks blew 3 feet out of the side vents in both directions. First I was told the problem was that my motor had to be three phase so I sent a photo confirming it is indeed a three phase motor. next my wiring was wrong so I sent photos of my wiring only to be told it was wrong with advice to connect it exactly as I had it. Finally, after sending a home video showing all my connections and terminations I'm told I connected my resistor wrong.. get this.. "I should connect to the brackets that hold the resistor in place instead of the coil terminals" What!? that sounds like an expensive jumper and not a resistor. the unit was actually running my bandsaw but if breaking is not a viable function why sell it as having it and then run me in circles when it blows up!? I'm told they're sending another unit, if they do I guess I won't try to use a breaking resistor as I can't get useful or accurate information from the source.I've seen videos of these units with a resistor working, was I given bogus information on the resistor value, can anyone confirm? I have a 220 3hp 2.2kw 60hz 9.1A motor in delta configuration running a 24" bandsaw.

I used this to power an old 10Hp metal turning lathe. We don't have 3 phase power in our garage and I didn't want to get a phase converter. This VFD was easy to set up, cheaper to buy than a phase converter, and made the machine safer to operate. I am only running the lathe at 60Hz for now, but tested the variable speed and it works great. Nice and smooth. I may be back for another VFD once I get my hands on a milling machine.

I bought this to run a 2HP motor on a Bridgeport copy that is 3 phase. Like others say, the manual has some errors. It shows on the wiring page to hook up the single phase power to R and T. It didn't work that way. Hook it up to R and S. The best advice I can give is that before you order it spend some time on YouTube to see where others have struggled or succeeded . Do a search for "Huanyang GT" There you will find several videos including "VFD GT series operation" I took my laptop to the shop and followed it step by step. It ran perfectly with no issues at all and I have never wired a VFD. Watching videos will get you familiar with the functions. Great bargain for the money if you have some electrical skills! You will need to wire in a disconnect and likely low voltage control wiring. I went through the extra effort to install it in a enclosure.EDIT: After a successful install, I bought another larger unit for my 5hp Lathe. More challenging to install but well worth the effort. The amount of electrical hardware you get to remove is staggering! My personal opinion is to stay away from "Autotune" and just enter your basic motor parameters and HZ. Start slowly. As you learn the programming language things will start to click and make sense. Managed to get everything programmed exactly how I wanted it including the mechanical brake. Great product for the money. Patience.....required for this project but I couldn't be happier with the results!
