Re: VFD's

Dave,

You say a 1hp VFD will run a 25hp motor up the max amps of the
drive. That's kind of extreme, but I get your point.

This is a question I've never been able to get a straight answer to.
I was concerned about running a 5hp motor off a 3hp drive. None of
the engineeers at the various motor or drive manufacturers could give
a definitive answer or were willing to venture a guess as to whether
there was any downside to doing this, other than reduced hp from the
5hp motor.
