thanks i have looked at that and am leaning more towards a rotary converter instead of a static converter ...since my mill has forward and reverse ,also a statix converter is not true 3 phase

thanks find out if he runs on 230 or 460 3 phase and if his motor run in reverse for reverse or if it is done by gearing
