5hp Vfd

[N4NV]

I am looking for a 5HP VFD that will take single phase input, 240V. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Vince,

try this ebay site:

I've had very good luck on ebay, I try to buy New-old stock when possible.
My favorites are Baldor, Magnatek(now yaskawa),Reliance in that order.

Also look at Automation Direct.

All of the VFD's I have looked at only go to 3hp on single phase, including Automation Direct. I used to just by a larger 3 phase VFD and derate it for single phase i.e. 7.5HP for a 5HP motor, but I have been told that most VFDs today have a phase fault detection that will shut down the drive it it senses only single phase.
