It was you who wrote in the first post:

83 Amp * 220 V = 18.26kW, well, slightly more than 16kW, get 20kW model.
If it is out of budget, you may spend the time to earn some cash to
increase the budget. Depending on your hourly rate it would take from
a couple of days to a couple of weeks. It is less time  than the time
to develop a unique device in a proper way. If you are smart enough to
develop the device in less than two weeks, you, probably, could earn
enough cash in less time to purchase the standard boxed solution.
