ok. I agree why the HY vfd is banned from discussion. I can attest they are junk. Just had a long day fighting with one. Here's my question. I have successfully used a rotary phase converter in the past. I'm pushing it's limits and want to power using a vfd.
Single phase 240 input. I understand I should look for double the power of my 5hp motor because of the higher current using only one phase input. Although I don't mind building or buying a rectifier and going straight to the DC bus if need be.
Anyway, just looking for some name and part numbers of 10hp units (or 5hp that will work with my 5hp) I can find used for not too much money.
Yes it's a home project. Thanks in advance. I love this forum.
