If that compressor has a 10 hp motor on it now, you will need to stick with a 10 hp motor if you go single phase. If you drop the hp it is going to stall the motor before it builds full pressure. That is a really big single phase motor. 50 amps full load at 230V single phase vs. 28 amps for 230V 3 phase.
