    I have a 4kw air compressor. 220v/380v rated

    I have wired the motor in delta. For 220v 3 phase.

    The Badge on the motor states RPM 2880 at 50 hz

    I have a 4kw VFD. Set at 50hz. This is giving me 1440 RPM. The single phase power input is 240V (France used to be 220v but is now 240v) . The VFD states it is drawing 5.2A

    Can I safely increase the HZ to bring up the Motor RPM ?

    Done....

    Found a setting on the VFD = PD144 Motor RPM Setting

    Sounds like a "pole changing motor" which often have complicated wiring connections, 2 pole delta may not be possible, need some of the boffins of the forum to comment.

    Std motors generally dont like 100Hz and would probably adsorb more than 4Kw anyway.
