Adding a VFD to a non-VFD Motor

Updated on Nov 14, 2026

The single-phase motor supplied in Diktator’s single-speed package is not compatible with the VFD packages we supply. Do not buy the single-speed package on the assumption that adding a VFD later is a simple upgrade.

If you want variable speed

Choose a matched motor-and-VFD package. If you already own a single-speed motor, a variable-speed upgrade may require replacing the motor as well as adding the correct drive.

For a motor from another supplier, send the complete motor rating label to support@diktatorgrinder.com. We cannot confirm compatibility from horsepower or shaft size alone.

Current package options

Check the selected product for available voltage configurations and included equipment. Electrical connection, protection and configuration must match the exact package instructions. See Power Requirements and Current Draw for Diktator Grinder Motors.
