    But, we were told the suspension looks funny and wouldn’t work! :ROFLMAO:

    Variable Speed Electric Motor / Voltage Regulator

    Yeah, you’re right. Got wrapped around what looked like a Y hookup and 208v and went with it…

    For the motor, not the VFD :)

    Variable Speed Electric Motor / Voltage Regulator

    Can you show the schematic for (assumption since I see amps drop, 20X voltage, and the single phase hookup shows waaaay too many inputs and lines for a single phase only motor) 3ph hookup? It's possible the capacitor is used in single phase only to help with startup current. 3ph usually...

    Variable Speed Electric Motor / Voltage Regulator

    A capacitor start motor is designed to use the capacitor to fill the inrush current until the motor achieves full speed. Running it with a VFD will cause that capacitor to overheat.

    Based on the partial wiring schematic pictured, I think that's going to do the same thing as the controller you already bought. It appears there's a 3ph hookup schematic off the picture to the right. If so, a single phase AC to 3ph VFD controller would work perfectly. *** EDIT *** NM. That's...

    How do People with Black Paint Jobs keep them looking so good?

    It won’t make anywhere near 4,000 gallons here in San Diego. We can practically chew our water there’re so many dissolved solids in it. Highly suggest an RO system into a DI system, stored in a tank. RO is far cheaper/gallon (I spend $60/year on consumables for 4 cars and an RV). I posted a...

    Oh yeah, also also Speed: “Want to actually drive this on a warmish day for the desert? Revamp your cooling system with our ‘upgraded’ fan shroud that doesn’t recycle air!” Lol.

    Understood, but... Then: A 20% throttle cut isn't stopping an engine from revving further. Fuel/spark/complete throttle cuts need to happen for that. For example... If 8k is the upper limit, the above shouldn't happen regardless of clutching.
