Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question Glabrous.
Yes – I am familiar with VFD, Variable Frequency Drives and I have installed quite a few in 3 phase 480 volt motor control applications including large industrial pumps and air handler units. The VFD Control Interface, also known as a Human Machine Interface (HMI) provides start, stop and speed adjustments. The HMI may have a keypad and display screen or led indicator lights to provide information about the settings and operation of the VFD unit. Each VFD unit comes with a helpful  installation manual complete with wiring diagrams.

Electrical Tip The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wiring! The Non-Contact Electrical Tester This is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester, [amazon.com], I use for the detection of Standard Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.
