Personally, I think you would probably get the best results running a rotary, or a balanced setup with inverter drive but frankly, for powering a simple motor such as this, a rotary converter would suit the task fine and provide steady three phase current to it all the time versus a static converter which only uses a fabricated three phase output to start the motor. I'm not a VFD guy, but they do have their uses.Īs far as a rotary goes, you can go a couple routes. I have never had any issues with stalling it out or not having enough power. I purchased a heavy duty Phase O Matic for it when I bought it 11 years ago. My lathe is a Monarch Model 61 with a 7 HP three phase motor in it. I have been using static converters to run my mill and lathe for the last 15 years collectively. It's gonna draw some amps on start up I imagine. How many horsepower is the motor? Can it be wired for low voltage? (I'm assuming you have 230 VAC available or wouldn't likely need a converter).
