Re: Help with 3 phase cable options

Good information here. I could be wrong but wouldnt a plasma cutter than cuts at 100 amps pull more than the typical CNC machine though? The biggest phase convertor I have found is a 30 hp idler motor and that only supports something like 20 hp. My one air compressor alone is 15 hp and I have 3 of them. Plus a big mill and lathe. Plasma that will cut over 2 inches and the list goes on. I know that I can prob piece together a 30 hp motor phase convertor setup for about a thousand dollars but there is no way one 30 hp convertor would run everything. Or am I missing something?
