    [How do I?] What Size VFD?

    My workshop has a 230 V single phase 30A service. I have a 5hp vector duty motor 14.2 FLA which I want to install in my lathe. Single phase option VFDs are apparently 3 phase running derated on a single phase. What is my best option? I still need a few of the 30 amps for lights etc.

    Should A Vfd (speed Controller) Be Powered Continuously?
