3ph 208v Power Supply using a VFD on 230/460 Inverter Duty Baldor Motor
(OP)
Hello,
I have 3ph 208v power supply and am wondering if I can use a VFD that i currently have on a new Baldor motor that is rated 230/460v. Do i need a 208v rated motor or can the drive work with the 230/460v inverter duty motor?

Instead of changing the motor, I would just get a simple buck-boost transformer ahead of the VFD and put 240V into it.

The part about 208V on 230V motors is on pdf page 60.
