Hi
I am thinking of getting a rotary phase converter from Temco to drive
my Cincinnati mill. In particular I am considering the 6500-11KW or
6500-15KW units. http://www.phaseconverter.com/
Has anyone used these and would care to comment on them. I believe
that if I went with these I would have enough to also run a 3ph lathe
if I found one I liked. Thanks

I do not like them due to their very aggressive self marketing on
wikipedia. Otherwise their converter will work. Consider installing a
VFD instead of a phase converter. You may gain some functionality by
going the VFD route (variable speed, electric braking, slow
acceleration, and reversal), save money, electric bills, and reduce
noise.
