Been mulling this single ph/3 ph stuff.

There is a nice Wadkin in the Co. Down, at sensible money, but needless to say 3 ph.

Guessing about 7.5HP(having seen other similar stuff professionally listed  and so described, HP wise)

I appreciate it is a bit "how long is a piece of string" question, but how practical or possible is it to drive such a 3 ph motor off a single ph domestic supply?

With a single ph to 3 ph convertor.

Or simply buy a 3Ph genny?

And figure the genny will pay for itself over 2 or 3 2nd hand 3ph powered items?

must be the spring or sommat since I am in the notion of spending money.

 

I supose my serious question is, have electronics or electronic "gizmos" advanced such that these advertised single to 3 ph convertors are now a serious proposition.
