When selecting an AFD for a small motor (30 hp), would the AFDs selection depend on the make of motor or as long as the AFD is manufactured in North America (NA)it would be generally compatible with any NA manufactured pump motor?
Thanks in advance

There might be FCC or other EMC issues, but very few VFDs, that do not comply with regulations, exist today.

AFD, VFD, (tomato, tomahto, let's call the whole thing off), same thing. And Gunnar is correct it does not matter. Any drive can run any motor. There are however very good reasons to select a motor that has been specifically designed to be operated by AFD/VFD/"Inverters", and motor design standards (metric sizes etc) are different for North America vs the rest of the world, so it's a good idea to pay attention to that too. But the drives are "agnostic", they don't care.
