The IMO VXT-8A-1 is a high performance AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for accurate speed and torque control of three-phase motors from a single-phase supply. As part of the advanced IMO Jaguar VXT series, it provides reliable motor control, flexible communications and robust drive functionality for industrial automation, machinery and panel building applications.
This inverter uses sensorless dynamic torque vector control to deliver smooth motor performance and dependable operation across a wide speed range. With integrated braking, Safe Torque Off functionality and built-in communication options, the VXT-8A-1 helps simplify control panel design while supporting efficient and precise motor speed regulation.
With a rated motor output of 1.5 kW, an 8 A output current and a single-phase 200-240 V AC input supply, the IMO VXT-8A-1 is ideal for powering three-phase motors where only a single-phase supply is available.
Key Advantages
High performance variable frequency drive for three-phase motor control.
1.5 kW motor power rating for industrial machinery and automation.
8 A rated output current for reliable motor operation.
Single-phase 200-240 V AC input with three-phase motor output.

Reliable Motor Control from a Single-Phase Supply
Variable frequency drives such as the IMO Jaguar VXT regulate motor speed by adjusting output voltage and frequency. This allows three-phase motors to run efficiently while improving process control, reducing mechanical stress and supporting smoother machine operation.
The VXT-8A-1 is especially useful where a single-phase supply is available but controlled three-phase motor operation is required. Its advanced drive features, communication options and compact IP20 design make it a practical choice for automation panels, machine retrofits and OEM equipment.
Typical Applications
Single-phase supply to three-phase motor applications.
Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
Pumps, fans and ventilation equipment.
Packaging and production machinery.
Mixers, agitators and processing equipment.
OEM machine building and control panel applications.
