Hello folks.

Thats what came to my mind some weeks ago too, when I had to install a
VFD at my new workplace, unfortunately the manual said nothing about TC's.
The Idea was: Can I use one of the cheap medium sized VFD units you sometimes
find on ebay to at least test drive a 3 Phase TC system.
I do not have 3 Phase power where I live, but it would be nice to 
have a system,
that can take advantage of polyphase.
The exact opposite sulution would be good too. Using a 3 phase 16A service to
convert to single phase at ca 45A..... Single phase service over 16A 
is very rare
here, 16A 3P very common, 32A 3P ( to use only one leg ) not too 
common either )
Wouldn't there be a lightwight solution with modern semiconductor technologies?

Christoph
