A single phase one should have enough capacitance to hold-up an entire half-wave at max load. If it works, it would be the cheapest option for OP, but it's not guaranteed success. | |

| Jul 26, 2023 at 14:30 | comment | added | Julien | I'm not sure a dimmer would be safe since not many dimmer can handle 2000W. Also, if anybody was to touch this dimmer, it could compromise his power without his knowledge. | |
