Hello All,

I am a newbie to this wonderful world of robots and was lucky enough to score a GM Fanuc Arcmate with all the fixings(controller and teach pendant) for what I thought was a very reasonable price. Unfortunately i do not have 3 phase power and not much working experience with it, though I am beginning to educate myself.

I have a 220v single phase hook up, the controller has a 3 phase transformer wired for 220v with a 2.5 kW rating. What are my options for getting three phase? rotary, static, VFD? Any information on the topic would be extremely helpful, I'm beyond eager to power this thing up.

Thanks
