After searching the net and forums I'm more confused then ever. Can you recommend a forum post or website? My situation, I'm moving to a shop with no 3 phase power. 220 single phase is available. I've a 3 phase surface grinder (2hp) and a 3 phase CNC bed mill (5 hp).
I have no idea what would be the best solution for me to power the machines. An electrician is recommending a phase shifter from Amazon for each machine. Somebody told me they might damage the CNC computer. I really don't know what the easiest and best solution for me is. I can't find even good beginner information on what a VFD is.
A friend of mine has a rotary face converter and it is unbelievable noisy, so I don't think that's what I want. I'm a total novice with this and hardly know anything about electricity. So if there are some good sites or posts that are educational, or links to products, I'd be most grateful for links and recommendations.
Thank you so much!
