Or just get a proper single phase to three phase VFD and do the job right. For
under $200 you can get a 230V 1PH in drive that'll run up to a 3HP 3PH

All,
Thanks for your replies.
My real question was to see if anyone had used GOHZ or some other cheap
drive. I currently run all my machines from a home made rotary phase
converter. It works pretty well but does not produce the best 3 phase.
Yes I know you can use capacitors to adjust the outputs which I have. The
rotary converter has been running in my shop for about 15 years. I have a
hydraulic automatic surface grinder that does n't like being run from the
phase converter. The pump motor overheats when run from my rotary
converter, I think maybe this is because the motor runs near full load.
I know I can use a larger drive and derate it to use on single phase power,
but that seems like a much more expensive option.<clip>
