Invertek Optidrive Eco 1.5 kW IP66 (Indoor/Outdoor) – Product Overview
The Invertek Optidrive Eco 1.5 kW AC Variable Speed Drive (VSD / VFD) is designed for controlling three-phase motors in fan, pump and HVAC applications. Operating from a 200-240 V single-phase power supply, this single-phase to three-phase inverter provides a variable-frequency 200–240 V three-phase output, enabling efficient speed control of compatible AC induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors.
The Optidrive Eco incorporates dedicated pump and fan control functions, including PID control, pump cleaning, broken belt detection and fire mode, making it suitable for a wide range of building services and industrial applications.

Motor Compatibility
This inverter provides a 200–240 V three-phase output and is suitable for compatible three-phase motors. Dual-voltage 230/400 V motors normally require a delta (Δ) connection for operation at 230 V. Always confirm the motor nameplate ratings and connection requirements before installation.
