Okay, fair enough, but don't use low cost as a reason to buy.That's not true at all. I'm not looking at the low end, I just did a Google search, and this is what came up. I don't know which brands are the best-- I did a Google search for "VFD Best Brands", and all I got are those stupid web pages where people put up generic marketing information and an affiliate link to Amazon, so they make money when you make a purchase. If there are high quality brands that I should know about, please tell me. Even better, if there's a high end brand that does what this one claimed to do, I'd really appreciate learning about it. But although there's a person in this thread saying he's using this model to do what it says it does, the consensus is that this is a kludge that's not likely to work out the way I want in the long run, so barring further information, I'll just need to wait until I can get the new panel installed and wiring done.
A VFD that uses single-phase input 110V is unusual, and it's very unusual that it outputs 220V. Nearly all are designed to accept 220V single-phase and output 220V 3-phase. Assuming that you have 220V available (drier vent?), I highly recommend buying a 220V 3-phase machine and using a VFD, but only if you need variable speed of course.
