I want to operate a small spindle motor (0.55 kW, 200 Hz, 230V) from my 230V 50Hz mains. So I need an inverter. Here in Germany there are good used ones available at low cost, but for 1.5kW (2HP). Is it OK for me to use one of these for a smaller load? I assume that after I program it with the nameplate data (voltage, max current, max frequency) then the inverter won't overload the motor. Or is there more to it?
I own three inverters but all were purchased for the motors that they are connected to and match the nameplate ratings on the motors.
Apologies in advance if this is a FAQ.
