I purchased a scm wide belt about a year ago now and its been in storage since I picked it up. I had intended on getting 3 phase power in my new shop but the price for the electrical company and my electrician was 114k just to get the panel installed. My next idea was a rotary phase convertor. I called up American rotary and the price for the convertor they recommended was around 8k. I'm now thinking about a large vfd since I have several other vfds in my shop and they work well. The wide belt has a 18hp main motor and 2 separate 1 hp motors for the feed belt and table height adjustment. Has anyone used a vfd for a wide belt or possibly a digital phase convertor like the phase perfect?
