Hi all, as some of you know and a boat that many of you are probably in, in looking at a new saw and wondering if a phase convertor is worth it for me.
Most of you have suggested phase perfect, a digital static convertor vs a rotary model for a number of reasons and with even the little bit I know about them it makes sense to me.
Of course this does bring into account a substantial cost even if used (though I haven't seen much used) so there is a trade of but it opens other possibilities. In my case I might also have to revamp my electric because it might be a bit undersized but going to look into that.
My question is aside from phase perfect are there any others you might recommend? Searching a bit I found the place below that sells digital static models at a ridiculously low price and I can't understand the price disparity... they mention if you need different hp than what it listed to just contact them. The largest they list is only 3hp and I probably want 7.5-10 but their 3hp is only $89!!! That's only about 25x less than a 7.5 pp.... what gives? I know a lot of people say you get what you pay for and generally that's usually true but definitely not always the case and it leaves me thinking but this is a huge price gap.... maybe I'm missing something and maybe there his hidden cost...I might call for a 10hp unit they might say 3k who knows.
So long story short, take a look at this let me know what you think and let me know there are any other good quality lower cost alternatives to pp...I don't think I want to go rotary because it will increase my bill significantly and almost definitely increase a lot to the install since I will definitely have to upgrade the panel.
Am going to put a call into pp for additional info.
Thanks in advance!
