VFDs As Phase Converters - VFDs
(variable frequency drives) are sometimes used to create 1-Phase to 3-Phase
power in your home or shop. The biggest advantage to using a VFD
is the ability to vary the speed of a motor which is useful for
a machine tool. Before choosing to use a VFD, make sure that the
model you select allows a single phase input.

Read questions and answers about different types of phase
converters. While variable frequency drives are able to
take in single phase power and output three phase at different
frequencies there are several inherent weaknesses that are
important to understand that keep them from being true three
phase converters. Read more at the Phase Converter FAQ.
