I have never looked into 3 phase converter before as Ive had no need, but now im wanting to buy a machine with a 3hp 2 speed 3 phase motor.
In terms someone with no knowledge of these things will understand, what are my options? What option is best? And what do they cost?
I've tried to research a bit but I don't really understand so it got confusing fast.
I read you have to swap to a single speed motor
I read you have to pick one speed and use the original motor
I've read some converters will do it
Im lost now so thought it may just be best to ask!
I'm also not entirely sure what the electric supply is like to the garage. I put a big armoured cable under the patio and run all the socket cables etc, electrician friend came and did the rest. I only have 13amp sockets though.
If more info is needed, I'll find out more details
Thanks.
