2.2 KW VFD, $70.39, Fullfilled by Amazon.ca

Not one of those vfd's but the Yaskawa ones I have I am able to power the 220v units and even run them successfully at 110, later I read somewhere that there would be an obvious reduction in current capability at 110 and it faulted out easily. I did start it using a variac to bring up the voltage past 120 to about 140 it didn't cut out as easy at the higher voltage.
