But adding the right amount of capacitance to the motor, will decrease both no load and full load amps significantly, for nearly free and will last 100,000 hours where as a cheap vfd might last a few years. can you add capacitance to an existing 120v single phase 1 hp motor? how would you do that ?- everdingfp

Thanks for the reply's it has to be portable and small enough to get into a apt building parking garage sprinkler/ water service room, usually at night mostly on weekends these never fail when its convenient, I like the idea of maybe a smaller motor 120v 1 hp is13.1 amps, trying to find a...- everdingfp

I have a hypothetical question, i don't think will work But i need to ask it- keep in mind i realize its a big investment in materials but its worth it to me if its possible? We have portable temporary 2 hp air compressors that are 120-240v 1 phase 15/7.5 FLA compressors - we install these in...- everdingfp
