Tom, I have a few questions on for you. Can you give any more information on the motor? What HP, voltage, wye or delta, Base RPM, Max RPM, FL torque, is it inverter duty or just steer me toward a manufacturers data sheet.

Also, are you going to try to run this with a VFD by direct feeding the DC bus? If so, what manufacturer's VFD are you using?

I hope I'm not getting to technical. I have thought about doing a conversion along these lines. Used/surplus AC motors are cheap on EBay, VFDs too. I know of only one other person that has done an industrial AC motor/ industrial VFD conversion. He used an ABB inverter duty 10 HP motor and a 30kW Danfoss VFD if I remember correctly.
