Karl sez:
"
True enough if your machine isn't too big."

It is true as long as it is capacitor balanced and the idler motor rated
HP is more than that of the
intended load motor(s) on the order of 2 X or so.

I'm pretty sure there's more to it when you start to exceed 200 amps during
startup on a 200 amp service, but you're the expert here. I do know starting
the mazak on real three phase isn't an issue and it totally dims the lights
and kickout breakers on my system in the higher gears.
