* * * * Hmm ... the phrase "Rotary Transformer" is another term for
"rotary converter" -- one way to generate three phase from single phase.

It said something about a rotary phase converter. I emailed the guy
and he said it has a "schematic" he thought for single phase wiring
inside the motor. This unit came from a business.

* * * * It should be all that you need to get it running, assuming you
have 240 VAC single phase available.

the voltage -- or the current. *But you will probably need 50% more
current than the nameplate current to run it.

Anyways, you are a bunch of smart guys on these matters and I would
like to know what you think.

I think you should take the advice you were given a few days ago: find out the
CFM requirements of the sandblaster you want to operate, and buy a compressor
capable of supplying that much air.

* * * * That makes sense.

I have a 100 amp sub panel in my garage. The guy said he would take
1000 for it. Or, I can buy a harbor freight with a gas engine for the
same price but alot smaller tank. Not sure if a gas engine one would
be as good though. I can get a big electric moel at harbor freight for
the same, but I think it had 15 or so cfm at 90.

What would you guys do for a home shop? I would like to be able to
paint on projects and sandblast. I am really wanting to fix up my dual
axle trailer. Right now I have a 5 horse 110 compressor (sealed pump_
from Serars. It just doe snot cut it.

Where do you live?

Gunner, with a 10hp Curtis for sale, cheaper than that rig.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
