    I've got a problem with my Spindle, 800W Air cooled, using a 1.5kw VFD.

    I've got through all of the settings but when I try to run it it won't go fast enough. Seems to only get up to about 3000 rpms, which I shut down right away because that's not fast enough for the air cooled spindle.

    I'm using the following guide.

    Chinese Spindle & VFD Setup

    Had setup with my prior machine with the same spindle VFD, and guide and didn't run into problems.

    I'm not sure why this isn't spinning up to speed.

    For what it's worth I'm getting an ELu.A error code on the VFD, which means it's got low voltage, but I'm getting proper voltage at the outlet so I'm not sure what it could be.

    I found my issue.
    I needed to have PD008 set to 110/120 instead of 220, it's working now.
