this is about rotary phase converters, not about VFD’s. i see some you tube stuff on building a rotary phase converter using a 3 phase motor to get 3 phase power from a single phase. so, i have some used but still good 10 hp 3 phase motors from the spray booth at my body shop. they are sealed and draw about 25 amp. so here is the question. if you have a 100 amp single phase panel, and you use this motor for the phase converter, what is the maximum amperage that you can produce on the 3 phase output? btw, i have 600 amp 3 phase at the shop, so no, i am not building a converter.
