Operation of three phase motor on single phase supply

[pwdrive]

Thanks fellas, I thought that was the case, as said, I have not had much to do with motors, I switch them on and the shaft goes round and round, that's about my limit.

I did run a three phase motor off single phase years ago when we had the sawmill but that was using a Transwave converter which has long since gone.

Does the capacitor method cause vibration levels above what they would be if ran from three phase?
