Summa F 1612 Electrical Question

Hi Folks,
Been a long time since i've posted on here. We've added a Summa f1612 to the shop and are having an issue with getting power to it. We do not have 3 phase in our building. It's going to run us an additional 10-12k to get that to our machine. Does anyone have any other successful experiences with phase converters? We have tried putting one in but were told that the system can't be off by more than 10% in its power delivery or its bad for the Summa. Lots of electrical jargon that I do not understand.
Thanks in advance

I use a digital 3phase converter with mine. I haven't had any issues in the last 4+ years I have been using it.

I am pretty sure it was a 10hp model that I ended up with. I highly recommend getting a surge protector too. They didn't have that option when I got mine, so I added one in on the panel.
