The machine is a big combination woodworking machine. It has 3x 2.2kw motors, of which only one is run at a time. So basically it's a saw bench, planer and spindle moulder.

Quite large rotating masses even when not cutting.

One VFD supplier I just contacted recommended a 4kw VFD for a 2.2kw motor... Seems sensible even if it is more £££. It's not much compared to the cost of the machine though.
