They can be quite expensive though.

May I ask why you need 3 phase power for a plasma cuttling machine?
If you actually do need 3 phase I have plans for balanced, build your own converters. Not all that hard to do & much much cheaper than purchasing one. I have 7 RPC in use in my shop now. I do run welding machines on a couple of them. For resistance type loads, building them is not quite an exact science. So I'm not sure how well they will work on a 3 phase plasma machine.
