I just acquired a small 25 ton press brake that runs on 230V 3Ph to power a 2HP motor. I've been around static, RPC, and VFD's but since I haven't applied it to a hydraulic pump system, I'm wondering what's the best approach to convert single into three phase and be sufficient to get full power?
I recently made a RPC purchase from a well known domestic company but then they called to ask what I was using the RPC on. Once I told them, they wanted to upsell me to a higher end unit that cost twice as much as their economy version that I just tried purchasing. I just cancelled the order until I could find out more. I know they're intentions are well, but I still would like to know my other options.
I did see the Hitachi single phase in, three phase out 3HP VFD online. I was wondering if this is a suitable option? I read that some VFD's have pump programs pre-installed. I've only messed with Siemens and Mitsubishi VFD's which still needed manual entry.
Thanks
