Ok I'm back in town today, I'm just going by what I think the motor tag says..

I have a motor co. outside of town and I took it there and they said its a 3 phase...Now I'm unsure if I should use a Static phase converter that says its 93% proficiency or if I should use a Rotary converter and get 100% of the motors rated horsepower. I'm not sure how much HP I can lose on a 1/2hp motor. The rotary phase converter is a lot more expensive. I'm hoping 93% of the total 1/2hp is fine. What do you guys think?
