Question:

How to operate a 230volt 3-phase AC motor from 12volt DC to 230volt AC inverter? Do such inverter exist?

Here is the 3-phase AC motor Motor Description:Phase: 3H.P.: 1.0Amps: 2.8/1.4Volts: 200-230/460RPM: 1725Service Factor: 1.15I want to operate the above mentioned 3-phase 230volt AC motor with 12volt DC to 230volt AC inverter BUT I do not know if any such inverter exists in the market that can operate 3-phase AC motor? 1. If you know any such inverters, Please list them in your answers.2. If no such inverter exists in the market, then what is the solution to operate the above mentioned 3-phase 230volt AC motor with 12volt DC to 230volt AC inverter?3. Answers with details will be appreciated.

Answer:

1 HP is 746 watts, so the motor will consume more than this. I'm sure there are inverters available to do this, but it would be better to use a higher input voltage (to reduce the current). Also you need to make sure the inverter can safely handle the motor stating current. This can be 5 or more times the full load current.
You forget to mention the amount of power the motor consumes. You would likely need LOTS of 12V power to get the thing going. But first... I don't believe anyone makes a 230VAC 3-phase inverter. What is normally done is you would use a dynamotor - a generator directly connected to a motor - to generate the 3-phase AC current. The DC motor would naturally have to be strong enough to generate the necessary power.
