    3 phase rotary inverter from single phase.

    My 3 phase cnc lathe is rated at 27 Amps on the manufacturers website. When I mentioned that I want to run from a single phase via a rotary inverter I was told that it will need 27 A per phase therefore 3x27=81 Amps from my single phase. Is this correct? I reckon the machine is about 5hp.
