AC VFD question

on 2000-12-19 19:22:37 UTC

Ok, I have this widget

Boston Gear Inverter Vaiable Frequency Drive
220Vac 3Ph or 1 Ph
Programmable speed/dir control for 1 to 5 hp
1-400 Hz.

Does this mean I can run an AC motor at 400 hz? Will it go 6 times
it's normal speed? I don't understand the capabilities of this thing.
