I saw this package on fleebay and was wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with either the motor to the VFD?

I've read most of the thread about VFDs and know it's important to match the VFD to the motor, hence why I thought this package would be a good idea.

Are you aware that the VFD is a 3P to 3P unit ie cannot run that from 240V?

yeah, I realised AFTER posting it. The same mob do a similar kit, but single to 3 phase.

As for matching the motor to the VFD . as long as the VFD is higher rated than the motor, provided it's programmed correctly it should be safe.

Conon are a reasonable company. I have one of their motors and installed a couple of others for mates.
If you shop around you can do better on VFDs.

Not really all that cheap. I've picked up new old stock 3 phase motors before for $50 - $100 0.75kw - 2.2kw, these were name brand motors. Just make sure they can run at 240V.

Also you would be better off going for a Vector based VFD. The Powtran drives that BobL uses are pretty good value.
