I have 480 volt single phase power and need to run a 230 volt 3 phase submersible pump motor (can't re-wire it for 460 volt). I would like to use a 480 volt vfd and program it to match the 230 volt motor nameplate info. In theory if everything is programmed into the vfd correctly the drive should feed the motor the appropriate current/voltage to operate correctly.
The drive would be de-rated for the single-phase power coming into the drive, so the inverter side of the drive would be sized appropriately to handle the higher amp draw of the motor.
I think in theory this should work fine, but would like to know if I'm missing something that would cause this not to work.
