I am in the process of converting my 1978 Hitachi Seiki CNC lathe to EMC. It currently has a 7.5 KW dc motor that used to be powered by FUJI SCR drive. My first problem my house does not have 3 phase power. I am having to work around this issue with my whole retrofit. I wish to convert this to a 3 phase AC spindle. What VFD's are people having success with as a spindle drive with single phase power? Is it realistic to have a 10 hp 3 phase spindle on single phase power? or will I have to go with a spindle motor closer to around 7.5hp instead? What is everyone's input on this?
