    Running a 5.5/7.5 kw 8000 rpm Fanuc motor on a vfd.

    I am building a fixture to "run in" spindles after rebuild. I have a fanuc 8000 rpm motor. (See attached pic of nameplate) the only load on the motor will be a belt driving a free spinning spindle up to 10,000 rpm for an hour at a time. What size VFD do I need, 220 volt single phase input?

    For that application, a 15HP single phase rated VFD should work OK. Something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/15-HP-VFD-D...8AAOSwhL5dcnmU
