What is everyones thoughts on phase converters? I only have 220V Single Phase at the 200 amp panel. I have 1/0 copper wire running 150' from the main meter base on the house on a amp breaker so my max is 150 amp. Anyway most of the larger tools I have on 220V single phase but I was looking at some additional machines that only come in 3 phase. What is everyones recommendations for type or brand of converters and is there another option? I heard of something else but cant remember where or what but it did the same basic thing but was more efficient or better on the machine. Also would I need one for each machine or is their a switching devise that would allow me to use one at a time. Its only me in the shop so I do not need to run many tools at once. Getting commercial power drop to the shop is not a route I would like to go but if that is recommended to be the best solution I can check into it further.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
