Here is my story i live on a AG property and have 1ph 110-220 at my house .my 1.5 hp well pump recently failed and i decided to try my luck on ebay and see if i can get a good deal on a pump (because as a kid i watched too mutch ToolTime with Tim Allen I decided i need a 3hp or maybe a 5hp pump motor ,,so i bid on several listings on ebay and to my surprise won 2 auctions .. first pump has a 3ph fancy stainless German water cooled 2.4HP motor and other pump has a Nord 5 HP 3ph motor AND it also came with a 5hp rated VFD 3-phase input GS2-25P0 (GS2 series AC micro drive, 230 VAC, 5hp with 3-phase input, V/Hz mode, RS-232/RS-485, Modbus, 5kA SCCR).
My understanding the 5hp VFD is undersized for the 5hp motor, and in my case i would need a 10hp or a 15hp VFD to run that motor from 220 single ph.
and i have to buy the 208v-220v-230v input drive right? not the 380-480 volt input VFD if i want to run them from 1 phase.?
but no one sells 15hp single phase VFDs only the 3 phase input ones .
Can i use that 5hp VFD to run the 2.4HP Pump motor ???
VFD says its Input:200-240v 50/60hz 3-phase 19.6amps
But all i have available as Input is 110-120v or at max 200-240v 1-phase
Not Input:200-240v 50/60hz 3-phase ,how would that work. wires and ext. what goes were? i'm lost.
I fell like i am trying to screw a cow for the first time, and i don't know how to approach her step stool,flowers?
can i get some pointers here....
I just found out that VFD's exist only 2 days ago.

I have bin digging the net tying to get proper info for 2 nights in a row now i need some sleep getting t0o koooky.
?not as important but : is there a physical difference in the VFDs for a Variable Torque and Constant Torque application or does that just depend ultimately on the vfd size % of max something something 120% vs 150% something surge or overload (don't know enough to finish this sentence)...
Be a good Samaritan, America needs you, protect your fellow citizens.... please help me so i can stop searching the web get some sleep and i need to drive a heavy sleepy truck tomorrow and i may live near you.
