I latched onto an older horizontal mill that runs on 3hp 440V 3ph power.
My plan is to hook up a 220V rotary phase converter to a 3KVa 3ph
transformer 220/440 and then to the mill. Does anyone see anything
obviously wrong with my plan? I suppose I could try and find a 220/440
single phase transformer and then a 440V single to 3ph rotary converter but
I think this way might be much more expensive. Thanks, al.
