Hello, All!

Is there any way to make a three phase concrete breaker work on 240V single
phase UK mains? here is a photo of the label attached to the machine.
Many thanks


With best regards, 3T39. E-mail:

You have worse problems than the three phase requirement. This unit
runs on 200V and 400Hz.

You need to find a converter that converts from single phase 230V 50Hz
to three phase 200V 400 Hz.

????? Where in the world is the power 200V 400Hz?

400Hz usually means aircraft

NT

In an airplane? Or an army facility?
I have worked in some of them,listening to
the 3rd harmonic tone going on all day,
a radar facility, and air command centre.

Just replace the motor, you're not likely to find a VFD that will go up
to 400Hz.

No problemo. Get one of these:

Some shops used 400Hz power internally for a lot of tools. Probably
allowed them to be lighter, less iron core needed in motors AFAIK.

Yes, but also the employees couldn't steal them and use them at home!
