Frequency drive used for single phase motor?
(OP)
Is it possible to use a frequency drive to make a single phase electric motor run at variable speeds and would you run into trouble with the xtra phse from the drive with no load?





RE: Frequency drive used for single phase motor?
You can use a single phase VFD on certain types of single phase motors, check out Anacon Systems.

Keep in mind that you should not use them on capacitor start msingle phase motors, which unfortunately is the vast majority of them.
"... and would you run into trouble with the xtra phse from the drive with no load?"
Yes, that is why you will not be able to use a 3 phase VFD on a single phase motor.
