    Using a 40hp 3 phase motor for a rotary phase converter

    Jst and all thanks for the advice. Jst if I were to get a 45kva 3 phase transformer is it possible to only use 2 of the legs so I could do single phase 220 in and the 440 out so I could build another rpc to run the 40 hp idler?

    Using a 40hp 3 phase motor for a rotary phase converter

    Hi all, In a previous post I asked about the best way to use my current 220v 10hp rpc to run my 20hp 460v lathe. One of the suggestions was to get a larger motor and make it into an rpc. Today I came across a reasonable deal on a baldor 40 hp 3 phase motor. As a side note I later found out it...

    Advice needed for Modifying my current RPC to accomidate larger a larger machine

    Hello All, A few years ago I built a 220 volt 10 hp rotary phase converter based off of Bruce Norton's design. I figured that I would never need more than 10 hp. Well! I bought a Leblond 20 SL lathe that has a 2 speed 10/20 hp 460 volt motor. I do not not see that it is possible to re-wire...

    Balancing rpc - what am I doing wrong

    In addition to the above questions about balancing. Why is it that when measuring voltage From common to L1 and L2 I get 122 volts each but when between L1 and L2 I only get 210? Shouldn't I be getting 244?

    Balancing rpc - what am I doing wrong

    Hi all, I just "finished" my 10 hp rpc. I am trying to balance the legs and I clearly am doing something wrong. The idle motor has a max amp of 26. My L1 - L2 are 209 volts. So far I have bc at 233v ab at 232v AC at 208v no matter what what capacitance I add to the CPf It won't change the...

    Hello All, I have a 10hp RPC that I want to distribute to 3 machines and one socket, for various small 3 phase equipment. The machines are on the opposite side of the shop from the breaker panel. My thought was to mount, up on the wall, the RPC within 5 ft of the breaker box and use #10 wire...
