Using 3 phase AC motors for platform
Ok, I'm in the middle of the concept stages of my motion platform. I have done quite a bit of research, and found that most of the professional electric motion platforms use powerful 3 phase AC motors.
So, considering it would be easy to add a single phase 240v/60hz line in my basement and use single phase input to 3 phase output motor inverter controllers, does anyone see a downside to using 3 phase vs. low volt DC?
This is similar to what I would like to build:
