I've been trying to find a 2HP motor comparable to the one I have (which is 208/230v 3PH) and they are all pretty expensive. The motor is for a bandsaw or tablesaw. I have single phase 120/240v at my house so I looked into a VFD and am having a hard time figuring out what would work as I've never used a VFD. Most are listed at 220v (I'm guessing input?) but the KW:HP rating is what I am really confused about as the numbers vary vastly. The FLA of the motor is 5.8-6.8
The prices vary by about $10 each with the 3HP being about $77 including shipping. I'm wondering if this VFD will be adequate.
