I just blew up a cheapo huyan yang 7.5kw 1phase input. I've had much better luck with the automation direct GS2 drives. BUT the biggest one they make for 1ph input is 3hp.
In the past, when I tried to hook up a larger GS2 to single phase, it (not surprisingly) shows an input phase error. I don't have a big GS2 to try it out on anymore.
Since the DC bridge doesn't care where it gets power from, I'm wondering if it's possible to fool the drive by connecting two terminals to the same single phase "hot"?
(Yeah, yeah, "shouldn't", "not rated for amperage"... "gets hot"... "let the smoke out" )
Is it possible to "fool" the phase detect part of a VFD?
