    You'll not run this from a Genny. Gennys don't supply a stabel enough power and the Servo's will go bonkers.!
    thats the info i need, is it get roundtable, could i stabilise the genny output. could you explain a bit more her please jazz so i can understand the problems.

    Also I'm no electrics expert but your thinking about Inverters changing voltage is wrong, they can only put out what goes in. So 240 in 240 out, they change phase/frequency not voltage.
    I will take pictures tomorrow so you can see what i mean, the extra box seem to have three large transformers ( windings ) or capacitors, and nothing else ( mabe four actually, will check tomorrow )

    do have some money to spend on this but think the cost of supply 3 phase is prohibitive, i would rathewr have flexible options if available

    Rotary converters will change voltage but they are quite inefficient and you'd need a bloody big bugger for this.!
    .

    Maybe this is the wayi just want to have a look at all options.

    I do have a full independent 1 phaze supply to my workshop ( flat at back of garden, ). the machine main box says 400v 3f 35a. But i dont need the full capacity that its rated for. I purchased this, not to use fully as is, but to convert into the type of machine i need. 2 high power motors on the other heads are not needed. I may not even need the hydrolics systems that drops motors/spindle/heads. as the Z is on full rails.

    On the 3 phaze side, i may only need to drive 3 * 0.7kw ( i think ) servoes and drivers ( or maybe 4 ), the VDF and spindle, --- so push come to shove, thats what i need to power... plus if i can get exsess, i will use it...

    From the pictures you posted it looked like the machine is likely to be used in a residential area, and that is why I mentioned noise
    ha ha yes, i have had this house her more or less 18 years, my neigbours are great. Getting it dismantled to get it in was a bit of a communal neighbourly job, and my workshop, is right at the bottom of the garden, its was a proper flat, just small, so its double walls and sound proff to some extent. I have blown things up down there a few times ( literally ), its got its own enclosed garden with high brick walls.
