Hi guys
I'm trying to build a Rotary Phase converter to start a 5 HP motor. I dont have any 10 or 15 HP motors to use as an idler. Is it possible to use multiple lower HP motors, like 3 - 5HP units, to simulate a 15 HP idler so I can start the 5HP machine. I ask this because I seem to have 5 HP motors in spades, but none larger.
I hope I made some sense here.
Thank You
Neal
