I'm not sure what advantage you'd get. If the building has single phase power a vvvf drive will output three phase power anyhow, enabling you to use a 3 phase motor. Are you trying to use contactors (single or two speed motor)? I haven't seen anyone use a single phase motor for any traction or winding drums in anything recent. It's much simpler to use a three phase motor with a vvvf drive.
