Greetings to All,
My question is a straight one so please be direct. My new Bridgeport J mill (actually an old machine) has a 2 hp w/3 phase. I have no 3ph in my new shop & I want to skirt around the costs of a rotary converter. Can I use a good VFD w/230vac input for my 2hp/3ph mill motor ? The costs between a good VFD and a rotary is staggering . If I am reading the forums correctly, I can. So , if yes, please suggest a real good VFD. I will read diligently .
Thank You Gents (or Gentets) !!
Sincerely
Philip
