Type indication
Warning label
Power supply Motor capacity
Pet name 200V-18.5kW
Use an inverter which matches the input power rating of your three-phase induction motor.
The use of an inverter unsuitable for your motor can cause it to rotate in a wrong
direction, and thus lead to grave accidents, including its burning due to overheating.
