It depends on the rating of the VFD some Vfd are single or 3 phase imput. anything over about 3 hp will be 3 phase in only so any motor 3 HP and up will have to have a vfd that is at leats double the HP rating. Hitachi makes some under 3 hp vfd's that are 220 single or 3 phase. not too bad on the pr...

Pretty sure it needs to be a BOSS9 control R2E4 to use EZlink

These belts have been used in home woodworkingequipment for a while and do really work well and last well and reduce vibration. not the first time you fire them up but after they run for a little while they get in line and run real smooth..
just my thoughts.
