The entire system can run off 220v. Acorn power supply, PC, VFD, etc. Anytime you have more than one power supply tie the negative outputs (common) together. Running everything on 220 makes wiring much easier and saves energy. :D

Oh, that’s just great, why don’t you just kick me when I’m down? :mrgreen:
It’s hard to find 3 phase here, some of the older industrial parks in my area offer it and forget about it at a home shop.
