Maybe YOU are talking about an RPC, but the subject of the
OP
is " VFD
question "

It doesn't matter, since the transformer goes before
anything
else.
It operates at line voltage, and in Gunner's case at a
constant
60 Hz.

It does matter, a set of transformers can most certainly come
after
a
RPC, if you only have buck transformers large enough to handle
the
three
phase current, not the single phase current.

Why would you put three after the RPC when one at the input
ddoes
it
right? Are you that stupid?

I'm not stupid, but you may be if you are that clueless as to the
context and the point I made about the transformer sizing. If you
have
for example three 1KVA transformers on hand but no 3KVA
transformers,
it's a pretty easy choice to use the three you have downstream
rather
than buy a new transformer to use upstream.

OK, if a hack job pleases you.

A "hack job" utilizing parts you already have on hand vs. spending
money
buying new parts will please most HSM folks. We are talking HSM here,
not in a factory where you would have real three phase power anyway.


Even within a factory environment it is perfectly sound engineering to
parallel transformers.



Three transformers on the individual phases isn't 'parallel'.


Oh I see....and the moon is made of cheese, too....


You can't fix stupid.


Certainly seems true in the case of YOUR stupidity.
