I need a VFD for my 1940 Monarch 10EE which has most of the drive system missing. I plan on using a 5hp motor driven by a 7.5 hp VFD on single phase. It will never use anywhere near the 5hp, however it's there for low speed torque. I've been offered a 7.5hp Altivar 31 for $500, which seems reasonable. Anyone know if it will run off single phase? I've seen a few threads on fooling a VFD if it won't accept single phase, but I would like to know for sure that it will work.
Or should I order the Hong Kong (chinese) 5hp VFD which says it will run off of single phase? I'm leaning towards the Altivar.
