Default profit-motive question: single phase adapter for 3-phase motor drives

There's a "simple" way around this: feed the input with DC (or feed
the internal DC bus).



The gist:
would you buy a box that let you connect a motor drive to a single
phase connection at full rating and fully isolated?


Since the difference in price between a 3HP and 7.5HP VFD is only
about $200, I have a hard time believing this would be economical.
