I have been brooding over this for months.
I would like a Phase Perfect in the 20 or 30 hp range but can't spring the dough.So here is my options, Rotary Phase converter or VFD or Digital Phase converter (not PP).
American Rotary has a 30 HP rotary phase converter for $1795. Same converter is listed as suitable for CNC app also.

I don't have any CNC machines now but was thinking of getting a small CNC lathe (older Hitachi or Mori or Mazak) and starting a small garage operation making parts (possible future plan). Also thinking about mechanical screw machines.
At the moment, the most powerfull machine I got is a Monarch Series 71 , either 15 or 20 Hp. I got a Schaublin 102N and a small Hardinge Mill that I need to sell in the near future. Even though I am sure they work, I can't claim as such unless I check just before sale. Don't know HP rating on those but can't be more than 10hp. Got 2 drill presses also which should easily be under 10 hp. If I have a 20 hp machine, do I need a 25 or 30 hp converter? I am also gona need transformers, after or before the converter or VFD?
I plan on get a sliding table saw in the future. I won't run more than 1 machine at a time so is it feasible to plug and unplug machines to stay under a phase converter's max HP rating ? I assume this isn't done with VFDs, that they (VFDs) are attached to each machine?
Now about non Phase Perfect digital converters .What brands are commonly used, reputable?
Anyone know about these 10 HP Digital inverters from Drives Direct of Uk?
