run blower fan from VFD - potential issues ?

[George C]

i want to use this blower:

https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/...pi-portable-blower-fan-belt-drive-swivel-base

or a 3 phase version of it ( which is slightly more expensive ).

and put it on a VFD to slow it down from 400 RPM to about ~ 150 - 200, because i want to cool myself off but without making a lot of noise.

i have been trying to get through to TPI to ask them about this all day but i keep getting the answering machine ...

so let's say if i was going to get the 3 phase version, and then get a VFD that takes 120V 1 ph ( the power i have here ) and outputs 3 ph in the voltage the fan is rated for - how likely would i be to run into some kind of unexpected problem ?

the fan is 3/4 hp so i figure running the VFD from a 15A 120V circuit would not overload it.

as i said i tried to contact TPI but so far no luck - should i try harder ?
