[ARC5] Fwd: Smart People: 60Hz Transformers Faster?

[Tom B]

Hello All,

Anybody out there tried to use a variable frequency motor drive to do 
this?  I was looking at ebay 191553950271 that might do it.  It is rated 
at 1.5kW and goes up to 1000Hz.
I know the output is not a perfect sign wave but I am not sure if that 
matters for this application.
