On a 3hp, you'll be talking FLA of 16-20 A; you'll almost certainly have
to have #10/30A circuit wiring for 240V operation; it'll be 30A at 120V
which also gets to be somewhat of pain for just home workshop.

BTW, if you do choose to go the converter route, remember the supply
wiring to the converter has to be sized for the current based on the
single phase supply...that has much to do with where you would want to
install it to keep that run short.
