Lapond HC800 Setup

For those interested, I purchased a LAPOND VFD 10HP 7.5KW 220V 32A from Amazon and am really pleased with both the construction and performance. I wanted something with a bit more capacity that could handle more than the 220V 2.2KW 80mm Spindle Motor I also got recently as I may want to upgrade in the future and the price was certainly. right. The unit is well made and has appropriate sized terminal screws than the cheap HY VFDs.

Had a little hiccup on getting the minimum frequency working but the response from the manufacturer (Sonya) was able to find the right setting. The technical support leaves a bit to be desired since it is via email but response was usually less than 24 hours.

One nice feature is the ability to use the MFK key to switch between the panel and the Modbus. I have not yet setup for Modbus but plan to do so soon.

So here are the settings and links to docs on my server.

Absolutely. great info and seems you are the first willing to share information about this VFD. I also have bought the same VFD from Amazon and currently in the process of building the controller for it. I wonder if you installed an RCD or RCCB as described in the manual. I live in the US which utilizes a split phase 220v power system and I can’t figure out how to wire in an RCB or RCCB since there is no neutral line. I wonder if you can share your diagram if you are also using split phase power system. Thanks

Dave, I purchased one of these drives to put on my lathe and looking at the manual, it seems to be a lack of information that I need to set the parameters for the drive. Would you be open to help me go thru the setup?

Sure, give me a call at 936 - 442 - 0811
