Got my new 2 post ramp to wire up but have no diagram and cant fine one on line.

pic of control box and diagram I got with the ramp.

You'll probably need to get a Part P registered electrician to do the install; that way you'll comply with Part P of building regs and get certification for that. Actually...in Scotland it may be different - think its Building Standards or something to that affect?

Shouldn't cost too much. I had a generator wired up to the main house board with a switch over in case of a power cut and the job was done in less than an hour.

So turns out I was stitched up. guy said it was single phase ramp (only reason I bought it), but on investigation its 3 phase

Anyone use or know of a good VFD or single phase to 3 phase convertor?

its a dual power motor so I can wire it up DELTA configuration and still use 240volts no need to move to 380volts.

Paul, I might be able to help, how many kW is the motor.

We sell variable speed drives that can work off a single phase input.

Mart.

3kw motor 230 /400v 16.5 / 9.5 amps

I see I can get them off ebay for around £120 - £170 (34amps 7kw) but reading other sites it seems to say you need huge power to start the motor e.g the ramp is 1/2 up and stopped I then want to raise it all the way.

think I might flog it and buy a new one. never thought I would miss my old 4 poster. must be over 25 years old and still going strong.

Fair play Paul,

This might be your best option, the ebay ones are vastly cheaper than we could do one for.
