Hi Jon, thanks for your replies to my question. I have read them over several times, but have to confess that I can't really understand what you are suggesting. Perhaps you could clarify - from the other replies I've had it seems that 'electronic' inverters don't cope well with switched loads, but you seem to be saying otherwise .

Regards, Robin.

Hi Robin -

I think there are different types of phase converters and the more expensive ones work as Jon described. They are often called Plug and Play type because they act just like a rotary converter.

The cheaper VFD type that most of us buy for one machine are not capable of running more than one machine at a time or switching at the machine.

Cheers Will
