Uh, a VFD will interface to my single phase, 20A 155v line?

So figure another $200 for a VFD to power it. You do not want to
consider replacing the three phase motor with a single phase one as it's
been reported that they don't run as smoothly as three phase and will
create defects in the ground finish.


Yes, though if you actually have 155V you've got a bit of a problem
there. The VFD normally expects 200-240V input, and yes single phase in
and three phase out. Visit http://www.driveswarehouse.com to look at
some.
