A 120V input VFD (variable frequency drive) is designed specifically for the North American market, where many residential garages, small workshops, and light commercial facilities have only 120V single-phase outlets available.

Standard VFDs require a 220V or higher input. The 120V input models on this page accept standard North American 120V single-phase power (NEMA 5-15 or 5-20 outlet) and output 220V single-phase or three-phase power at adjustable frequency — allowing you to run 220V or three-phase motors from a regular household circuit.


Typical applications include:

  • Garage workshops: lathes, drill presses, band saws, grinders
  • Small irrigation and water pump systems
  • Residential HVAC fan control
  • Light commercial equipment on 120V circuits

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q1: Can a 120V VFD run a three-phase motor?
    A1: Yes. The 120V input models on this page output 220V three-phase power, allowing you to run a standard three-phase motor from a 120V single-phase outlet. This is ideal for hobby machinists and small shop owners who want to run three-phase equipment without a utility upgrade.
  • Q2: What circuit breaker size do I need for a 120V input VFD?
    A2: Due to the AC-DC-AC conversion process, the 120V input current is significantly higher than the motor's output current. As a general guide: a 0.75kW (1 hp) unit draws approximately 12–15A on 120V input; a 1.5kW (2 hp) unit draws 20–25A. A dedicated 20A or 30A circuit is recommended for most models. Check the product datasheet for exact input current ratings.
  • Q3: Will a 120V input VFD work with a 60 Hz supply?
    A3: Yes. All 120V input models accept 50 Hz or 60 Hz input and can output any frequency from 0 Hz to 400 Hz. Standard US 120V/60 Hz supply is fully compatible.
  • Q4: What is the largest 120V input VFD available?
    A4: The largest model currently in stock is 5.5kW (7.5 hp). If you need higher power, a 220V single-phase or three-phase supply will be required — see the single-phase output VFD or three-phase VFD pages for larger ratings.
