So I recently acquired a machine with a 5HP 200 volt 60 Hz 3 phase motor, yes name plate 200 volt. Motor is a Rockwell OEM'ed from Baldor. It was previously run on a 208 three phase service. I have 240 single phase and 240 three phase via a 10HP rotary phase converter but don't feel real comfortable pushing the motor to 240 volts. So I got to wondering which if any of the reasonably priced VFD units can take 240 input and trim the output voltage back to the 200-208 volt range? I started looking and got frustrated, the manuals all seem to be written by EE's with English as a second language.
