[RE-wrenches] Fisher Paykal

[Dana]

Thanks All on the fisher Paykal thread.

 

I run an F-P on Outback VFX3624(s) and I have 2 clients now that run the F-P
on Sw4024s. Super smooth on these inverters.

 

My .02 on the Fisher Paykal - $625 [1/2 of a Staber] , great controls &
capacity, 1K RPM spin cycle, and this washer deals with out of balance
better than any washer I have ever seen [it slows and reverses to dislodge
the pile and then try a again if this does not work then it beeps 5-6 times
to call you to deal with it]

According to a document I received from an F-P technician, here is what it
takes to run their washers on an inverter: I passed this document on to the
list late last year, so check your attachments folder for 
Using 120V Alternate Energy Generation.doc

Are There Existing Customers who are Successfully  Running a Smart Drive
Autowasher From An Inverter Supply?
 
There are many installations where Smart Drive Autowashers are successfully
operating on an inverter supply.  In our experience if the following
technical criteria are met  by an inverter then operation and reliability
should not be an issue:
 
RMS Voltage:  120V +/- 10%  (up to -20% may still work provided the pump
outlet hose is not too high i.e. pumping a high head of water)
Frequency:       60 Hz +/- 5%
Peak Voltage:  200V peak - This is the major point!!!
Older style inverters can have an rms voltage inside specification but do so
by having short duration high voltage pulses.  The Smart Drive treats this
high voltage pulse as a voltage transient and clamps the voltage above 200V.
The electronics are well rated to absorb this clamp energy on a transient
basis but not 120 times a second  (60Hz) continuously.  If this continuous
clamping occurs then it may lead to premature failure of the Smart Drive
electronics or the Inverter electronics.
Power Rating:  2kVA (2,000VA) minimum.
While the Smart Drive only consumes about 650W of power maximum, the VA
rating can exceed 1kVA.  Successful installations have a rating of 2kVA min.

According to others on this list, the sine wave Magnum won't run one, so I
would be very cautious.

Has anyone run a Fisher-Paykal washer on the Magna sine modified sine wave
1200 watt inverter? Good to do or not?
 
Thanks
