From what i have read, a 3 phase cnc uses 3 phase for the motor and single phase for the electronics.

I need to run my BP TC22 on single phase. I have been looking for the best way to run my vmc on single phase. A PP is out of the question.

It looks as though a VFD would be best to convert my 1phase to 3phase but from what i understand its not great for the electronics side.

So my question is.... can i wire my machine to use single phase for the electronics and use a vfd for the 1phase to 3phase needs?

If so do I just need a vfd with matching hp as my spindle?

Thanks for any help.

I aquired this machine (bridgeport torqu cut 22) without any manuals or paper work. If anyone has these they could email me it would be much appreciated.
