Induction motors have what is called a volts/Hz curve, which is very
nearly a straight line.
So, at 167 Hz, you apply 50 V, and at double that, 334 Hz, you apply 100
V. Four times
that is 667 Hz (accounting for a roundoff) and 200 V.

AC tech has a mid-size VFD that goes to 1000 Hz,, that is their MC1000
series. The 1000 Hz
is an extra-cost option. Siemens has the 6SE series of VFD that goes to
650 Hz, apparently
as a stock feature.

With all of these units, you will probably need series inductors on the
3 lines between VFD and
motor. I used 1.6 mH with my Westwind spindle. That would at least be
close for your application.
You will need the programming pad and the full manual to make it work.
