Thread: Phase converter specifically phase perfect question..

    Yeah that’s a solution but expense as a wolf duel rule indiction top is what I want. Actually probably not a solution with the indication top so scratch that.

    I hate the idea of messing with gas. And Im talking even by a licensed plumber. Freaks me out having the crap in my house.

    You could probably run the 10 hp phase converter with a 30 amp breaker but not with the loads you are looking at running. I ran my 10 hp phase converter off of a 30 amp circuit until this weekend. It wouldn't start my new metal lathe but did fine with the 2hp jointer, 2 hp drill press, 1 hp belt grinder and 3 hp mill for years. The lathe had too much start up load as it starts the motor and gearbox at startup instead of having a clutch setup. Changed out to a 60 amp and all is good.
