Note:

The single phase motor should Not be adjusted to run based on a lower frequency than 80% of its rated frequency for along time, otherwise the motor may fail.
ATO VFD Cannot be used as a power source, it Can only be directly connected to an induction motor to control the motor speed.
Single phase VFD Cannot control the motor in reverse, if you want to reverse the motor, refer to the motor nameplate instructions for operation.

Tips: 7 points about variable frequency drive application environment
The variable frequency drive may not be normally operated in any cases, so the user is necessary to have more understanding about load, environmental requirements and the VFD itself. There are seven points should be pay attention to:

Because the motor temperature will be high under long-term and low-speed operation, the fan cooling capacity will also reduce, so it must use high reduction ratio VFD or 6 grade motor to let the motor running in higher frequency.
The variable frequency drive installation site must require the standard environment, or it will easily cause failure or shorten the service life. The distance between VFD and driving motor should not be more than 50 meters, for longer distances need to reduce the carrier frequency or increase output reactor option to function properly.
Type of load and VFD selection: Different load of motor has different requirements of VFD.
Fan and pump is the most common load: They have the simplest requirements of the variable frequency drive, as long as the variable frequency drive capacity is equal to the motor capacity (air compressor, deep water pump, sediment pump, and fast changing music fountain need higher capacity).
Crane load: This type of load is characterized by a great impact on the starting, so it requires a margin of the VFD. At the same time, there will be energy feedback when putting down the weight, so it requires brake unit or share bus.
Uneven load: Some load maybe sometimes light and sometimes heavy, this time should be in accordance with the heavy load situation to select the variable frequency drive capacity, such as rolling machinery, crushing machinery, mixer, etc.
High inertia load: Such as centrifuges, punching presses, cement rotary kiln, these kinds of load have high inertia with large oscillation when starting, and the motor may have deceleration energy recovery. So we should use higher capacity VFD to speed up the starting to avoid oscillation. And we can use the brake unit to eliminate the feedback power.

Running a single phase motor with VFD

In this video, ATO will show you details about running a single phase motor on a VFD. It's important to note that there are two wiring methods for single phase motor connecting to ATO single phase VFD: wiring of removing motor capacitor & wiring of keeping motor capacitor. At first, you should choose the wiring method you needed, and then set basic parameters step by step.

Four Ways to Control VFD with PLC

This video introduces the main wiring methods between PLC and VFD, including digital control, analog control, serial communication and Ethernet connection. The choice of connection method depends on the specific application requirements, system complexity, cost considerations and the need for control accuracy and flexibility.

How to Choose a VFD for Your Motor?

In this video, we lay out a list of key factors that should guide you in choosing the right VFD for your motor or any other possible application.

VFD analog input 0-10V frequency control (VI port)

ATO GK3000 VFD uses external voltage analog to control the frequency so as to achieve the purpose of motor speed regulation.

Control VFD with potentiometer & button (VI port)

ATO GK3000 vector VFD supports control of synchronous motors, and supports external potentiometer and button control.

Single-phase Output VFD Controls Single-phase Motor Speed

This video shows the details of using a frequency converter to run a single-phase motor on a single-phase power supply. Including wiring, parameter setting, single-phase motor speed control, etc.

I need a VFD

I have a 115V AC single phase 60Hz water pump. The only other ratings I have for it are 117W, 1Amp. I would like to control the speed of this pump remotely. I have been looking for a VFD that would work for it but they are few and far between. Can you point me to a VFD that will work for my 115V AC, 1A, single phase, 60Hz water pump?
