I found a Quincy dual QR 7.5 Hp 3Ph compressor at a good price. I bought a tank an plan on moving one motor and pump to the tank and selling to offset the costs.
I don't really need 7.5 Hp for my home shop and can run at 5 Hp with smaller drive pulley.
Options in my small mind.
1) static converter on existing motor with smaller pulley, I can tune down shut off pressure if needed.
2) 5 or 7.5 HP single phase motor
3) digital phase converter like https://www.amazon.com/Phase-Conver...+phase+converter+7.5+Hp&qid=1604275106&sr=8-3
I have a 20 HP motor to make a phase converter, but don't what to have to start that up every time I want air. I am currently running a LaBlond 16" on a static converter with no issues.
Other options, experiences, advice, ridicule welcome.
