Hi all, it's been a long time since I visited but I see a few familiar
names.

I'm looking to build a phase converter and need a 15 hp 3 phase 230v
1750 rpm motor. I'm in the Albany NY area. Get back to me here or the
email listed will work with the obvious edit.

Sure you electric service can handle this? The line current will
be in the neighborhood of 75 A idling, and way higher when it starts.
Some power factor caps will help some with the running current.
