Default Variable Freq. Drive?

Thanks Steve. That was a pretty small nut!

But isn't it possible to just use 1 phase of the VFD, disabling the
start winding/mechanism of the motor, or would this ruin the drive?
For and example, let's suppose I had a VFD rated at 3HP. If I used
only one phase could I drive a 1HP motor?
