> Running a 3 phase VFD on single phase (tieing all 3 phases together) works if you derate the VFD/inverter.

Interesting, I've never tried that.

Yes, those cap-and-coil based 3 phase 'convertors' are more of a fake 3 phase than the real thing and they will put a lot of stress on one of the three phase windings of the motor and hardly any on the other two.
