Bauer Capitano 3 phase to single phase conversion

Okay, that makes sense. I have 10awg wire on hand for this purpose. I will need to see if my wires will fit in the terminal block that is there and determine if there is enough room or I will need to get my hands on another terminal block before I can make any further progress it seems. If I am going to use the VFD as I should then I will need to eliminate my on/off switch, the contactor, and the overload relay.

you want to eliminate the overload as anything after the VFD can be a problem. Your on/off switch can be wired into the VFD though so it will function as normal. With a motor like this you won't be using any of the fancy functions of the VFD or really any variable speed functions so I would wire the on/off switch into the VFD and then you don't have to touch anything other than on/off.
I would personally set the max rpm to around 50hz/3000rpm to replicate the euro speeds though as that will be fun for the lubrication side and will make it a bit easier on the power bill

Anything to ease the power bill a little is fine by me! I believe I have room on the DIN rail that is already in the cabinet to add some terminal blocks. I assume the ones that I need are the pass through?

yeah, just trying to make the wiring look a bit less ****** vs having wago lever nuts everywhere for splices.
