    Emco Turn 242 Retrofit

    I recently purchased an Emco turn 242 from a local school. Everything seems to be in good condition on it. Im upgrading it to a newer control and electronics. Im curious about keeping the spindle motor if there is a way to control it with a VFD. Ill post a picture of the motor plate. I found some VFD's that claim they are for 11kw motors. 220v single phase in 380v 3 phase out. Has anyone seen motors of this size ran off single phase power with a VFD?
