A VFD is selected around the three-phase motor and application duty—not from frame size alone.
Confirm motor nameplate voltage, full-load current, frequency, overload duty and the required control method.
Review cooling and thermal margin for prolonged low-speed duty; forced ventilation or an inverter-duty motor may be required.
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.

Reliable AC motor solutions for common machinery and application-specific OEM systems.

Application engineering
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.
Define the right AC motor
Provide the power source, performance, envelope, mounting, environment and duty cycle so we can identify the most appropriate route.
