If I have an RPC with a 10 HP idler, what is the maximum amount of
power that I can draw from it, safely? I am interested in numbers for
a resistive load and a motor. Resistive load could include some bad
ass garage heater that could be much cheaper in 3 phase.

I would consider the idler to be good up to perhaps a 7-1/2 HP
motor load. If you plan to plug reverse the motor, perhaps go down t a
5 HP motor load.

As for the resistor load -- you can re-wire the resistive
heating elements to put all three on the same 240V single phase (if your
breaker can handle that -- if it can't, it won't be able to handle the
rotary converter driving that anyway.

Enjoy,
