My lathe setup is 1.5hp AEI (c1965) 3-phase with a Jaguar VXS-75 VFD courtesy of eBay (£75 the pair, bargain).
The VSX-75 is a 1 Hp model inverter and takes 7.2 amps with single phase input.

The next one up in the range is the 150 or 1.5 Kw which will run a 2 Hp motor and that requires 14 amp.

The later updated VXSM's take 10 amp and 16 amps respectively

The cheaper Mini series takes 6 amps and 10 amps respectively.
