John,

Thanks for the link.  But there had to be a snag. I downloaded the manual for it and found this warning at the top.

...It is not desirable for use with stop start operations...

Ah well,  back to the drawing board.

Andrew,

The voltage rating could be a problem.

So,  I'll go back to the Transwave rotary converter option.

Easiest way out.  Sadly,  the most expensive .

But like a dog, convertors are not just for Christmas.

Dave,
Have a look here..... http://www.phase-a-matic.com/StaticDescription.htm

They claim no issue with a lathe/mill etc.....

 DavidA, drives direct do a 240v single phase to 415v 3 phase VFD , any use?

DavidA:
John,

Looking at the details it doesn't look very promising.

Either you are stuck with obtaining only 2/3 of the single phase power,  or you need to run an auxiliary motor as often described in the many sites on line.

Phil,

Thanks for that link.

But as I want to be able to have a ring of sockets around the workshop and be able to plug in any of my three phase motors without worrying about 'is it compatible',  I've decided to spend the money and go for the Transwave rotary converter ala DoubleBoost.

Dave.

I hope you and your new converter have a happy relationship..... :zap:  :) :)
