And the data plate from the motor. Incorrect settings in the VFD can and will result in the destruction of either the VFD or the motor or both. The settings are quite specific to the motor ratings. Running the motor slower than 6000 to 8000 RPM's will burn up the motor if it's a high speed spindle. You can run a water cooled spindle slower than an air cooled spindle but not by much before the windings burn out.
Incorrect settings on other VFD parameters can and will destroy the VFD. The manual is quite important to have setting the VFD up and you shouldn't try to power the spindle up without the correct settings programed into the VFD.
