When I bought a 1.5kW inverter for 49 quid I really didn't believe it would be any good, but I was quite wrong. On the outside, yes it's a cheap looking moulded case but the inverter has some great features. programming it is very simple and similar to most inverters. You select a parameter, change it, and save the changes. I am running it off UK single phase mains and it is driving a 1.1kW 3 phase 220V motor in delta. Control is very smooth, with sine wave PWM. accel and decel can be set over a wide range and torque compensation for low speed running has a big range. I like the fact that many of the parameters allow setting where they happen and how much. For instance, believe it or not it has DC injection braking, but more than just setting the amount of braking you can set how long it is applied, etc. Controlling the thing is very easy, either from the irremovable keypad, or through a conventional relay latching stop start circuit. When the FWD input is connected to the units +12V output, it accelerates to the preset speed, via pot or up and down arrow keys. It stays at set speed until 12V is removed from the FWD input when it then decelerates and brakes if you are using DC braking. If you want to pay twice the price for the same inverter sold by another company and in a different box, you can get an RS232 output and terminals for a braking resistor. I'm happy with this one!Read full review

item no fit for purpose instructions are that vague and make it impossible to set up wiring symbols on casing do not match stickers on unit eg earth terminals

Works perfectly. Easy way to get a three phase motor working on 240V mains. Although it says the motor must be wired to a Delta configuration, you can get a 400V motor working on Star configuration within its torque range if you set the frequency to 29Hz. Great value.

I'm very happy with the product, once I got my head around the initial set up information with help from a YouTube forum its a great VFD especially for the price. I nearly returned it due to the problem with the set up information, now I am really pleased with how it proforms its a lot more efficient then the one its replaced, excellent torque positive control, positive button control would recommend a remote control box. I find the control buttons rather small apart from that I've put it through heavy work on the lathe it has no difficulty in supplying the power. A very happy lathe bunny 😊.

It allows a 3 phase 415 volt electric motor to work on a two phase 240 volt UK domestic electricity supply, and it does it perfectly with the added bonus of variable speed control and all at a very affordable price - with clear instructions - Excellent!
