Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is a 230V VFD used for?
A: A 230V VFD is used to control the speed and torque of small motors, typically up to 2.2 kW. Common applications include pumps, fans, HVAC equipment, and light-duty conveyors.

Q: What is the difference between 230V and 400V VFDs?

  • 230V VFDs are suited for smaller motors and compact applications.

  • 400V VFDs cover a much wider power range (up to hundreds of kW) and are commonly used in industrial settings.

Q: Can I run a three-phase motor with a 230V VFD?
A: Yes, many 230V VFDs can power small three-phase motors, depending on the specific drive model and motor compatibility.

Q: Why should I use a 230V VFD instead of direct on-line start?

  • Energy savings of up to 40%

  • Extended motor and equipment lifetime

  • Reduced starting current (soft start)

  • Improved process control and comfort

Q: What is the maximum power supported?
A: Up to 2.2 kW for the 230V GD20-EU series. For higher power, check our 400V drives.

Q: Are these VFDs compliant with EMC standards?
A: Yes, all 230V models include an integrated EMC filter for reliable compliance.

Q: Where can I find detailed product specifications?
A: Visit the product pages for specific models like the GD20-EU 1.5kW 230V VFD or GD20-EU 2.2kW 230V VFD.
