Motor and inverter considered together

Matching Inverter Guidance

A VFD is selected around the three-phase motor and application duty—not from frame size alone.

01

Electrical match

Confirm motor nameplate voltage, full-load current, frequency, overload duty and the required control method.

02

Low-speed operation

Review cooling and thermal margin for prolonged low-speed duty; forced ventilation or an inverter-duty motor may be required.

03

Installation protection

Long motor cables may require output reactors or dV/dt filters, with EMC filters and braking resistors selected where applicable.

Important: A normal capacitor-start/capacitor-run single-phase motor should not be assumed suitable for operation from a standard three-phase VFD.

Application engineering

Standard, Modified or Application-Specific

SDT evaluates the lowest-risk route first: an established AC platform, a controlled shaft, mounting or electrical modification, or a new solution where the application cannot be met credibly by existing ranges.
