"Written pole" single phase vs VFD and 3 phase motor
"Written pole" single phase vs VFD and 3 phase motor
(OP)
Anyone ever seen the inside of the large single phase "written pole" motors being sold by precise power for 30-75 hp loads?

It's an interesting idea and I wonder how the expense of one of these patented motors and it's control would compare to an oversized VFD and an off-the-shelf VFD rated 3 phase motor? I know the usual single phase supply 3 phase VFD's are usually in the small <3hp range, but surely the same principles that allow this application in small VFD's apply to large ones as well?

If it's OK to be down for a few days, or you can afford to stock one spare of every size motor you have, it might be worth considering. I have yet to work at a place like that...
