Good afternoon all.
I am in the middle of fixing up a lathe on a very tight budget and I'm not seeing the usual number of cheap options on ebay to run the 3 phase spindle.
In my search I came across a bit of a mystery (probably only to me as I'm not all that clever with the electronics)
I'm hoping one of the experts on here can help.
I found this one on ebay:
FUJI INVERTER 0.75kw - FRN 0.75 C1S-2J | eBay
The data place clearly says it needs 3 phase input:
I read the manual online and it says the same thing, IE its made for 3 phase input.

Then I look at one of the other images in the listing and it shows a label with what seems to me to be single phase wiring locations?
Have I got this all wrong?
Can a 3 phase inverter normally connect to single phase?
The lathe in question is a Denford Orac with a 1/2hp spindle and when I say its on a budget I really mean it.
I'm planning to spend no more than £300 in total including the £113 I have spent on buying the lathe in the first place.
Luckily I'm quite good at scrounging and a bit of a hoarder of useful bits of metal and electronics so I have some of the bits I need already.
I'm in UK so its 220v by the way.
Many thanks
Richard
