Can you run a 2-speed Motor on a VFD/Inverter?
This article describes how run a 2-speed motor on a VFD/Inverter.
Yes you can
Step 1: The motor must be inverted rated.
Step 2: Verify the wiring is suitable for VFD use
Step 3: The motor will need to be wired for either the speed you want to run or the
torque you need to have. This statement is also true for all other two speed motors. A
consequent pole motor is a type of motor with stator windings that are reconnectable
in two or more different ways so that the number of stator poles can be changed. In a
two-speed motor typically one speed is twice that of the other speed
