Hey guys,

I was looking at getting a KILN that requires 220 3-phase (31amps) to
run. Does anyone know what HP rotary phase converter I'd need to run
it?

Thanks!

I would expect it to be fairly easy to rewire the kiln to use single
phase power. Who makes the kiln? And what model is it. It is very
likely that you can use the existing elements. The worst case would
be that you have to install new elements. Which would not be all bad
as elements age and fail. So you would be starting with new
elements. You can get new elements at Seattle Pottery.
