I wonder if anyone can help? I have a pretty good understanding of AC and DC electricity. My wife has a part time bakery business in our home. We have recently acquired a 3ph commercial dishwasher really cheap. I have looked into purchasing a phase converter to run the machine which has a motor load(3hp) and a resistive load (heating elements(3)12kw). One of the converter suppliers recommended a 25hp phase converter for $2800 to run the machine. Can't afford it. Question....Could I run the heating eelements on a seperate 220v/single phase supply line and run the pump and controls on a smaller 5hp phase converter? Thanks in advance for your help...mmd
