I was just reading the manual for the Mitsubishi VFD in the cabinet on the
Hurco. I got all excited when I found it could be run off of single phase
power, not just 3 phase. It even has a table showing is capacity when
used
with a single phase input. Sadly its not quite enough.

But probably enough to get you started. You may overstress the input
rectifiers and filter caps, but what's the worst that can happen?
You'll shorten it's life and end up with a nfg VFD, which isn't any
worse than no VFD at all. Unless it's new enough to have some resale
value -- what model is it?

The second worst thing that could happen is to blow the fuse(s), in which
case, no harm done, except for maybe a dollar or so for new fuses. :-)

Cheers!
