A variable frequency drive is an electronic device that allows you to start, stop, and control the speed of a three phase motor. It is also a motor starter as it is equipped with overload protection. Read more »
What is the difference between a 'new surplus' motor and a 'factory new' motor?
Our New Surplus electric motors and drives are new and unused overstock or discontinued items offered at lower prices and come with our 90-day warranty.
Factory New products are competitively priced and come with a manufacturers warranty.
Variable frequency drives (VFDs or inverters) now play an important part in major industry.
Within the last 10 years they have been perfected to control and vary the speed of 3 phase electric motors. They serve many purposes, besides speed control. Homeowners and hobbyist alike, who have lathes or milling machines with a 3 phase motor, usually don't have 3 phase power to operate. These VFDs (instead of using a rotary phase converter) can now be used to convert single phase power to 3 phase power. Read more »

Protective Functions
Stall protection
Threshold current can be set (in acceleration or constant speed, it can be set separately. In deceleration, it can be set on or off )
Instantaneous Over Current (OC) and output Short Circuit (SC) protection
Inverter shuts off when the current exceeds 200% of the inverter related current.
Inverter Overload protection (OL2)
Inverter rated current is 150%/1 min., at 200%/2 sec, inverter stops (C.T. type), carrier frequency factory setting is 8~2 kHz. At 120%/1 min, inverter stops (V.T. type), carrier frequency factory setting is 2 kHz.
Motor Overload (OL1) protection
Electrical overload protection curve
Over Voltage (OV) protection
When the main circuit DC voltage exceeds 410V (230V units)/ 820V (460V units), the drive faults out regardless of whether it is in run mode or stopped.
Under Voltage (UV)
When the main circuit DC voltage is under 190V (230V units)/ 380V (460V units), the drive faults out regardless of whether it is in run mode or stopped. The DC voltage trigger level can be adjusted.
Automatic restart after instantaneous power fault
Power fault exceeds 15 ms. This is programmable to 2 seconds.
Overheat protection (OH)
By direct temperature detection in the unit
Ground Fault protection (GF)
Uses current feedback for protection
Protection in charge state
When main circuit DC voltage exceeds 50V, the “CHARGE” LED is on.
Output Phase Loss Protection (OPL)
Automatically stops motor rotation and faults
