DO THIS. If you only have single phase 120V this is the WAY TO GO, its only a few hundred bucks for the VFD and its really easy to get a slightly larger breaker installed on the circuit you are using(go from a 10A or 15A to a 20A or 25A)
Code doesn't break. It reacts exactly the same time every time. When something new happens that never happened before, it's because the mechanicals, electricals or drivers gave the code some new stimulus that wasn't tested before. - GaryVoshol [more]
