Three phase switch for single phase?
Hi group. I have a big vertical bandsaw that I would like run with a
single phase motor. The saw came with a three phase motor and switch. I would like to use the existing switch for 220 volt single phase power. I know enough about electricity to get me into trouble. The existing switch looks to be a single throw, triple pole type. Can I just use two of the three sets of contacts for my 220 volt single phase? the specifics of the switch are as follows: 30A 250V AC 20A 600V AC Motor Ratings 2HP 110-600V AC 3-phase "manual motor starter" Arrow-Hart and Hegeman Elec. Co Hartford, Conn USA The old 3-phase motor is 1HP The new single phase motor is 2hp, full load amps = 12 both motors are 1725 rpm Thanks for any insight you may have, Andy Hall Lynn, MA |
