Why not speak to the manufacturer and ask them to supply with a single phase motor? 5.5kw is pretty top end but it is possible.

Hi mate, you need one of these. I am thinking of selling mine, as my new workshop has 3 phase, and i dint need it now. I think mine is about

5 to 6 KW rotary, bought from Transwave. I used it for running 4 different types wood working machines. Had no problems with it. You could try the add trader for second hand. Good luck looking.

Hi just wondering are you wanting to sell your converter thanks Darren

I assume it is just the motor that is 3 phase and the rest of the machine is single phase.

 

I am an electrician, we used to convert 3 phase on gas burners by placing a capacitor accross 2 terminals of the electric motor. You will need to contact the motor manufacturer for the correct size capacitor and wiring diagram. Get the technical department to email you the details. The capacitor throws the voltage out of phase to create a false 3 phase supply. You should be able to buy the capacitor from somebody such as CPC, Radio Spares or Maplin.
