We have been running our 17 cfm Worthington with a 14 hp GE motor on a solid state phase converter for 3+ years at our dive shop. The converter was supplied by a company called Ronk Ronk Electrical Phase Converters - Run 3 Phase Equipment On Single Phase Power. Operation of this system has been flawless so far under commercial conditions. The initial cost was on the order of 3k for the converter and some wiring upgrades to the feed circuits but it beat the estimated $12,000 the Costa Rican power monopoly was going to charge for three phase. If you call Ronk with your application information (what you're running, motor info etc.) you will likely be talking to an electrical engineer who can make a recommendation.
