Default VFD for 3 phase

Hi Richard
If I wanted to keep the original 400v motor I would need to buy an inverter and converter. This steps up the 240volt single phase mains to 400volt so the inverter can send out 400v 3 phase. The cost of this is similar to a simple inverter and new motor. As my motor is 48 years old, I went for the new dual voltage motor.

Cheers
