I have a 25HP rotary phase converter that runs my entire shop, 2 Fadal mills and 3 Mori sieki lathes,

10+ years the only issues is the Phase converter itself has melted a couple of its own power switches and a blown fuse on rare occasion

But in hind sight, At the time of purchase, The converter was about $4500.00 and the power company updated my transformer for a larger single phase service

Visit CNC Machine shop Mojave CA and you can see, It can be done in a very rural area in the middle of no-ware, But I dont pay shop rent, My commute
is about 40 steps from were I reside.

I would not give it up for the world, Im pretty happy
