Thank you for that! Maybe down the road. Right now I amm only running a 20hp rpc so its not too bad.I'm running a 7.5hp three phase compressor on a VFD. I don't have any issues. The VFD is sized the same as the motor. The VFD is a cheapo from Amazon. Been running for two years now.
You may want to look into getting a phase perfect instead of using the rotary converter. I had the same issue running a 40 hp rotary. It was eating up a big chunk of my available amperage just running the motor. Phase perfect eliminated that issue and the supplied electric is way more accurate and balanced.
ALso, thats good to know. Mine is a 5hp. So this is probably the path, and 5hp is cheaper then 10 for a vfd!
