    You may find it cheaper to get the motor rewound (just google "motor rewinding" for somewhere local) and use a more standard VFD. e.g. one of the common Chinese brand: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-2KW-3HP-...UAAOSwUKxYeYVQ

    Or something second hand from a good brand (e.g. Siemens, ABB, Parker). Unless you are unlucky, the Chinese one will last a long time as you're running somewhat less that its power rating.

    The VFDs which accept 240V and output 415V seem expensive for what they are. It's tempting to copy the idea ... or just use a 415V VFD from a suitable DC supply (sometimes works).
