    Ground Fault Detection Interrupter (GFDI)

    Some inverters are provided with GFDI and some are not. Is this a regulatory thing dependent upon the country of use intended for the product?

    Single phase to three phase inverters

    Hi there. I have been looking at one or two inverters. Does anyone know if the Invertek Optidrive range is a good one to go for? It does seem a little cheapish for a 3hp drive. I know this isn't the best way around it, but for people who don't have a three phase supply and just want to run...
