I have run my Airco Pulse Arc 300 (3ph) on my 5hp rotary converter
with .35 wire. Worked pretty well, but damn it made the electric
meter spin like a dervish. Ive not tried to run it on single phase
as I loaned it to a buddy who does have 3 phase in his shop, but will
be getting it back soon as his shop has my warehouse attached..and the
City is going to turn it into another badly needed abandoned empty lot
at the first of the month.


Say what? They going to tear it down with nothing going up there?

There's got to be more of a story behind this - the ink isn't even
dry on the Supreme Court eminent domain ruling, and CA is supposed to
have some pretty strict Eminent Domain restrictions over and above
what the Feds just bestowed.

As in, today they wouldn't be able to get away with bulldozing out
"blighted" Chavez Ravine for "housing projects" then conveniently have
the project fall through right after the Brooklyn Dodgers announce
they'd like to move west...

If a municipality already owns the land and building, it isn't in
imminent danger of falling down, and they have no use for it, offer
them a few bucks of month-to-month rent to leave the building
standing.

Even if it's a token rent in exchange for taking care of the place
till they come up with a use for it, it's probably more than they'll
get for a stupid vacant lot - you can find those just about anywhere.
