Question

What type of motor is compatible with inverters?

Answer

Any 3-phase AC motor will work with invertors, but an Inverter Duty Motors is designed to handle much lower speeds without overheating, and can withstand the voltage spikes typically associated with inverter usage.

In practice, it's better to find the right size motor for your application; then look for the inverter to match the motor.
