220V single phase to 380V three phase

[rnr107]

Why go 3 phases ? for such a small motor the cheapest and easiest option is to buy a new single phase motor...
fairly cheap on eBay.
Unless this motor is of a special form factor or something ?

That's the problem, the motor is about 130mm square and is fits behind the gearbox.
These motors are no longer made and second hand ones very rarely come up for sale, I did find a 3 Phase motor from the Netherlands(ebay) so jumped on it.
Not even sure if it works yet(waiting for VFD and other bits and bobs from Ali)
If the motor is no good i will indeed try and find a suitable 3 Phase dual voltage motor, but it could be a bear if it's much larger than the original.
