How do I identify the correct drive for my application?

This is not a comprehensive guide for selecting a drive, but here are a few quick ways to narrow down which drive will work for you:

1. Check the FLA(Full Load Amperage) on the motor the VFD will drive. The VFD you select will need to have an equal or higher rated Amps.
2. How will you supply power to the drive - Single or Three Phase and what is your main power supply voltage. Make sure the VFD is compatible with the phase and voltage.
3. Operating environment - temperature, moisture, and dust. Does your VFD need protection or have to operate in certain areas? Make sure the VFD specs such as heat dissipation and IP Level are compatible with or the drive needs to be derated because of the environment.
