Electrical Connection for VFD (Variable Frequency Drive)
Electrical Connection for VFD (Variable Frequency Drive)
(OP)
Hello Sir/Madam,
Please help me in connecting a (250V~ door Switch) of Air Handling Unit motor cabinet with the ON/OFF VFD(Variable Frequency Drive) command relay(24V~).
Now my basic, question is that I need to make such a combination that when Motor cabinet door opens the motor VFD relay gets OFF command lead to stopping of motor itself & vice-versa. If possible please suggest me some relevant tips or ideas to do so.
Thank You...

Or, as Scotty suggested use a relay. This will require some power to run its coil thru the existing door switch. Then use one set of contacts to continue the current function the door switch is doing and a second set of contacts to do what I described above. Make sure you use the relay's normally open sets of contacts so if the power to the coil is interrupted for any reason the relay opens like the door opened to keep things safer.
And yes you can use two different voltages on a relay's contacts.

First of all sorry for delay in reply. But thanks Sir I work on this project with this concept & will revert back with the results soon.
Also I want to ask that "If I connect 250V ~ supply to 24V~ supply to relay then it wouldn't burn due to over current passing through its coils?"

I suggest you should find someone local who's done this type of stuff and get them to help you.
