Invertek VFD Range — Quick Reference (Variable Frequency Drives)
Invertek Drives = leading manufacturer of VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFDs / AC drives / inverter drives). AC motor speed control for industrial + machinery + pump + fan + HVAC applications.
| Invertek VFD | Best For |
|---|---|
| Optidrive E3 (Compact) | Small motor — pump + fan + machine |
| Optidrive P2 (Industrial) | Heavier industrial drives |
| Optidrive ECO (HVAC) | Building HVAC + pump applications |
| Single-Phase Input / 3-Phase Output | Workshop common — runs 3-phase from single-phase supply |
| 3-Phase Input / Output | Industrial standard |
| Common Sizes (0.5kW-22kW+) | Match to motor |
| IP Rating (IP20-IP66) | Match enclosure to environment |
Why VFD: Variable speed motor control = energy saving + smooth start + precise speed control. AS/NZS 3000 + AS/NZS 60204 wiring rules. Licensed electrician install. Brand: Invertek. Companion: VFDs, electric motors, electrical + electronic.
Invertek Variable Frequency Drives at AIMS Industrial
Invertek Drives is a leading manufacturer of variable frequency drives (VFDs), also known as AC drives or inverters, used to control the speed and torque of AC electric motors. AIMS Industrial stocks Invertek drives from the TECDriveAC and TTA series — reliable motor control solutions for pumps, fans, conveyors and industrial machinery.
Invertek Drive Series at AIMS
AIMS stocks Invertek drives across multiple series and enclosure ratings:
- TECDriveAC E3 IP20 — compact panel-mount drive for controlled environments, non-switched
- TECDriveAC E3 IP66 — sealed enclosure drive for harsh or wet environments, non-switched
- TECDriveAC Single Phase 240V — ideal for single-phase supply inputs, three-phase motor output
- TTA AC Drive 3 Phase 380–480V P2 IP55 — industrial-grade enclosure for demanding environments, non-switched
- TTA AC Drive 3 Phase 380–480V E3 IP66 — fully sealed drive for outdoor or washdown environments, switched
Motor Control for Industrial Applications
Variable frequency drives reduce energy consumption, extend motor and mechanical component life, and provide precise speed control. The right drive selection depends on motor size, supply voltage, enclosure requirements and application type.

People Also Ask — Invertek VFDs
Q: What's the difference between the Invertek E3 and P2 series drives?
The Optidrive E3 is the compact series suited to small motors on pumps, fans and machines, while the P2 (TTA series) is the industrial-grade drive for heavier industrial applications.
Q: Can an Invertek drive run a 3-phase motor from a single-phase power supply?
Yes — the TECDriveAC Single Phase 240V drive accepts single-phase input and delivers three-phase output, letting a 3-phase motor run from a standard single-phase supply, a common workshop requirement.
Q: What IP rating VFD do I need for a washdown or outdoor installation?
For harsh, wet or washdown environments choose a sealed IP66 enclosure such as the TECDriveAC E3 IP66 or TTA E3 IP66. IP20 enclosures are for compact panel-mount installation in controlled indoor environments only.
Q: Do I need a licensed electrician to install a VFD?
Yes — Invertek VFD installation and wiring must comply with AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 60204, and must be carried out by a licensed electrician.
