    VFD Assistance

    I am gathering materials for a 2" x 72" belt grinder build.I am not sure if my vfd selection would be correct.I have 240v single phase power and the motor I will be using is 2.2 kw (3hp) 2800 rpm 415v three phase (max amp draw 4.39) (link below) .Most VFD's state 220v in 380v out 12 amp (example link below) will these be suitable or do I need to purchase a 240v to 415v vfd ? These units are around $100 odd dollars more and would rather not spend the extra $ Many thanks for reading

    220V to 380V VFD https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-2KW-3H...53.m1438.l2649


    240v to 415v VFD https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-2kw-3H...4AAOSwvERcIF0k ......This unit is sold buy the same campany that sold me the motor .This is what they said..... QUOTE "you can see our motor can runs at 240V/415V 3 phase. You need to change our motor configuration from Star(415V 3 phase) to Delta(240V 3 phase), then you could use our single phase VFD to run this 3 phase electric motor.

    Please check the wiring diagram at the back of terminal box cover."
