Can single-phase motors be used with VFDs?

No. VFDs are designed to operate three-phase motors only, and will not work with single-phase motors. Drives that are referred to as “single-phase” will operate on single-phase input power, but the output is still three-phase, thus requiring a three-phase motor.
