I run a small static converter for my lathe and cutter grinder, but was recently looking to build a rotary converter to supply multiple machines (4-5kw/7.5HP).
However, having been put off by startup current requirements, I came across these digital 3 phase converters (1P 240V to 3P 415V). These are about a third of the price of a similarly rated commercial RPC and much smaller footprint and peak load. Unlike a VFD, they claim to provide full 3P output for multiple machines.
Does anyone have any experience or offer any advise on these?
