2.2kW 220V Single-Phase Input VFD for a Centrifugal Pump in Indonesia

Real pump and VFD configuration photo used for technical reference; it is not presented as the customer site photo.
Introduction
A pump dealer in Indonesia needed a VFD for a small centrifugal pump where the available site supply was 220V single-phase. The customer wanted smoother starting and variable-speed control, but the key question was whether the motor voltage was compatible with a single-phase input pump inverter.
Based on the information available for this draft, AUSENIST recommended a 220V single-phase input VFD only if the pump motor is suitable for three-phase 220V output. The final selection depends on the actual motor nameplate and wiring connection.
Project Overview
| Item | Project Requirement |
|---|---|
| Country | Indonesia |
| Customer Type | Pump dealer |
| Application | Small water transfer and pressure support |
| Pump Type | Centrifugal pump |
| Motor Power | 2.2kW |
| Motor Voltage | 220V three-phase motor required for this configuration |
| Power Supply | 220V single-phase |
| Control Requirement | Variable-speed pump control and smoother starting |
| VFD Model | AUSENIST 220V single-phase input pump VFD, 2.2kW class |
| Control Method | V/F or pump control mode according to motor data |
Customer Requirement
The customer had a common problem in small pump applications: the local electrical supply was single-phase 220V, while many industrial pump motors are three-phase. The buyer needed a compact water pump VFD that could accept the available supply and drive a compatible pump motor.
The requirement was not a universal voltage converter. The motor must be checked carefully. A 380V-only motor should not be treated as suitable for a 220V output drive unless the motor nameplate confirms an appropriate dual-voltage connection.
Technical Challenge
Single-phase input selection is more sensitive than ordinary three-phase input selection. The VFD input side receives single-phase power, while the output side drives a three-phase motor. This can be practical for small pumps, but only within the confirmed rating and motor voltage limits.
The most important technical point is motor compatibility. If the motor is 220/380V and can be connected for 220V three-phase operation, the configuration may be suitable. If the motor is only 380V three-phase, a standard 220V output VFD will not provide the correct voltage.
VFD Selection
Based on the information provided by the customer, the recommended direction is a 2.2kW 220V single-phase input pump VFD with three-phase 220V output. The motor rated current must be compared with the VFD output current before the final model is approved.
AUSENIST should confirm:
- Motor voltage marking, such as 220/380V or 230/400V.
- Motor rated current under the 220V connection.
- Whether the motor is induction or PMSM.
- Required control method: fixed speed, manual speed setting or pressure feedback.
- Ambient temperature and ventilation around the drive.
Recommended Solution
| Item | Recommended Configuration |
|---|---|
| VFD Model | AUSENIST 220V single-phase input pump VFD, 2.2kW class |
| Rated Power | 2.2kW, subject to motor current confirmation |
| Input | 220V single-phase |
| Output | Three-phase 220V |
| Control Mode | Pump speed control according to motor and application |
| Pressure Feedback | Optional if constant pressure is required |
| Optional Accessories | Pressure sensor, panel switch, external potentiometer or terminals as required |
The VFD should be wired by qualified personnel according to the confirmed model manual. After motor data is entered, the installer can test rotation direction, current, acceleration and the required operating frequency range.

If pressure control is required, a pressure transmitter can be added so the VFD adjusts frequency automatically through PID control.
Recommended Initial Parameters
| Parameter | Recommended Setting |
|---|---|
| Motor Rated Power | Set according to 2.2kW motor nameplate |
| Motor Rated Voltage | Set according to actual motor connection |
| Motor Rated Current | Use nameplate current for the 220V connection |
| Maximum Frequency | According to motor and pump rating |
| Minimum Frequency | Confirm according to hydraulic requirement |
| Acceleration Time | Set to limit starting shock |
| Deceleration Time | Set to avoid pressure shock |
| Start/Stop Source | Keypad, terminal or external control as required |
Final settings should be adjusted according to the actual motor nameplate, pump curve and site conditions.
Expected Operating Behavior
The VFD is expected to start the pump more smoothly than direct connection and allow speed adjustment within the confirmed motor and pump range. If used with a pressure sensor, it can also support constant-pressure pump control.

Engineering Notes
- Do not connect a 380V-only motor to a 220V output VFD.
- Confirm the correct motor terminal connection before commissioning.
- Check motor rated current for the selected voltage connection.
- Leave ventilation space around the VFD, especially in small pump panels.
- Add pressure feedback only when the system actually requires automatic pressure control.
FAQ
Can a 220V single-phase supply run a three-phase pump?
Yes, but only when the VFD and the motor are correctly matched. The VFD output voltage and motor winding connection must be compatible.
Can a 2.2kW pump use a 2.2kW VFD?
It may be suitable if the motor rated current is within the VFD output rating and the pump duty is normal. The nameplate current must be checked.
Can this VFD drive a 380V three-phase motor?
Not as a standard 220V output solution. A 380V motor needs the correct voltage or a separately reviewed voltage configuration.
Is a pressure sensor required?
No. It is required only if the system needs automatic pressure regulation. Manual speed or terminal control may be enough for simple water transfer.
