So how do you know a 50A contactor is good enough? You've built how many
converters?

I don't mean to be difficult, just pointing out what seems like an
obvious issue.

I made a few phase converters for sale and quickly came to the
conclusion that it was not a good way to make a buck. Lots of time
involved with not a lot of return. A kit gets around this, but how sure
are you your components (like the contactor) are sized right?



A 50 a furnas contactor should be good enuf...



The other way to think about it: now that you have 3 phase, some day
you're going to really wish you had kept that 7.5HP motor. They don't
take up much room...



I dunno, do you have any ideas regarding how it may be used in the future?

And, again, there is this 200V issue... it is rated for 200 volts.
