Using a VFD to drive a single phase 50 Hz load. - 11/06/07 10:39 PM
Folks,
I need to drive a 230 V single phase 50 Hz water bath for a couple of weeks during the design / build phase of a laboratory sampling system. All of the other components use switching power supplies for power, so I can power them off of the wall outlets. This chiller needs 50 Hz for the compressor and the circulating pump.
My thought is to purchase a small VFD that takes 120 60 Hz in and puts out 230 3 phase 50 Hz. Do you think that I would have to equally load each phase?
I'll call some vendors in the morning, but I figured I would tap into the knowledge bank here first.
Thanks
Larry C
