[QUOTE="Toddy, post: 372764, member: 419"] Static converters suck. You lose a lot of power on your machine. Rotary converters are much better but you need at least twice the hp on the converter motor as the machine motor. If you can find a big 3 phase motor it's easy to hook up. That's really all you need. The fancy ones have a started but you can kick them over and start them spinning and turn power on and you got 3 phase power. All the static converters are is a cap that charges when you shut the power off on machine. Machine starts on 3 phase but only runs on single phase. The way to go is a variable frequency drive. Can be had for reasonably cheap and the way to go. Toddy [/QUOTE]
