Yes, Good point.

As the principal of the VFD works, bascially from AC to DC, then DC to AC.

The phase rotation of the output of the VFD connecting to the motor is based on the sequence "open" or "close" controlled by the inverter pre-set inside; any changes to the phase rotation of the feeder will not affect the DC rotation, as DC is NO phase at all.
