Thanx, Jerry! Hey, Iggy - take a look.

Bob

I had already stocked up on the solid state switches at All Electronics
while they had hundreds of "take outs" at about $2.00 each. I dont see
any in the most recent All Electronics (www.allelectronics.com) catalog.
Marlin P. Jones (www.mpja.com) shows some 25 amp, 280 VAC solid state
switches at $11.95 each.

Iggy sez: "I am quite interested, do you know of a web address where I
could see
these switches?"

How about it, Jerry? Is there a web site that you know of? What are
some of the exact specs; and are they available from some of the chip
houses, National, maybe?

Jerry sez:
" My personal favorite method of spinning up an idler is to
momentarily
connect the capacitor from one of the 220 lines to the "unfed
winding"
using a solid state switch. The switches cost $12 at Marlin P,
Jones.
Any big relay can be used to momentarily connect the capacitor,
There
is a high degree of arcing associated with disconnecting the
capacitor,
so 'oversized' realys are desired."

Do these solid state switches operate at "zero crossing" time? I am
guessing they are similar to those used in high $ "switched capacitor"
rotary phase converters such as the Booster brand seen on Metal Web
News.
