Are the variable frequency drives phase sensitive?
Last Updated: 05/23/2014
The input wiring is not sensitive to phase. If one would change one set of input leads, the rotation would not change. The output of the drive is sensitive to phase. Changing one set of leads to the motor changes the direction of rotation.
