I think you'd have to speak with your electrical supplier and ask them if there is any possibility of bringing in 3 phase to your shop. I'm no expert but if there isn't any existing feed nearby it tends to be prohibitively expensive, and I've heard they also tend to discourage 3 phase use from a safety perspective.

However, I'm sure someone will be along soon enough with more info for you.

Cheers

The other option is to use single phase and convert or invert it to 3 phase.
If you search on the forum, you will find loads of topic on this,

That's the funniest thing I've read all day.
