Default VFD and motor RPM

It will definitely be less than 5 HP due to losses at higher
frequencies. Call the motor mfr to find out max safe speed. No need to
speculate or outguess them. Yu will know the answer on Monday.

Kind of a follow up to my pump RPM question.

I found a 1200 RPM 5 hp motor and an old Hitachi SJ200 5hp. vfd in the spare
stockroom (er junkpile)

Any reason I can't spin this combo at 3600 RPM? Still have 5 horse?
