Shop air dilemma

Look into getting a 1 phase to 3 phase VFD drive, which converts your single phase to a usable 3 phase for the motor. They run about $350, this is the one that I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VDCV4X2/?tag=fabo03-20 . I picked up a brand new 80 gallon 3 phase compressor at an auction (listed as salvage freight but only had cosmetic damage) for dirt cheap and have used this vfd to run it for the past 2 years trouble free. I am an electrician so hookup was straight forward but I could see if you aren't used to these things it could be a little more difficult. These are all made in china and the instructions leave a lot to be desired. However, once you get it figured out it's easily to manipulate. Mine is set up to ramp up to full run over 2 seconds and shut down over 1.5 seconds, which helps eliminate the high current draw at startup and the high torque stop/start.
