Default VFDs & 3 Phase Motors


There's another issue. A VFD delivers square waves to the motor.
Those sharp edged waves are hard on the motor insulation; an
"inverter-rated" motor has an extra margin in the insulation.

With ordinary ones, you want to add a "load reactor" between
the VFD & motor. It's a filter that will round off those square
waves a bit.
