Default Voltage on Phase Converter

In article , Steve says...

I checked the voltage on my phase converter (3HP 3Phase Baldor)today
and got 122v,122v,and 180v on the wild leg. Is 120v all I should be
getting on the 2 lines from the 220v line from the breaker box even
after they are fed through he converter? I thought that the converter
would boost these a little bit. Thanks for the help. -Steve


I think you are measuring the voltages incorrectly. You
need to measure line to line, three ways, not line to ground.
The 120 volt number you mention implies that you are measuring
line to ground.
