Re: Inverter for a dusty/dirty environment
I settled on an AC Tech brand drive that is NEMA 4X rated. https://www.valinonline.com/products/esv222n02yxc I thought the price was reasonable for the specs. I'll update the thread once I install & start using the drive.

Inverter for a dusty/dirty environment
