I'm not an electrician, but I have had some experience using VFDs
<http://www.phaseconverterinfo.com/phaseconverter_vfd.htm> as phase
converters. I believe that either Delta, or Y is very rare (don't know
which one), but I'm sure the VFD
<http://www.phaseconverterinfo.com/phaseconverter_vfd.htm> can handle
it. VFDs <http://www.phaseconverterinfo.com/phaseconverter_vfd.htm> are
sized by horsepower and it is always better to oversize slightly if you
can. For a pump load, you must oversize by one.
