So I'm going to move into a place without 3 phase power. Problem is 3 of my machines are 3 phase...
So I'm just wondering how do you size a rotary phase converter? Some said it has to be like 3x the size of the motor you are powering. Thing is I have a band saw, a compressor, both are 5hp, and that means I need a 15hp motor to make a rotary phase converter?
I could just buy a single phase moor for one of the machines, and then use that leftover 3 phase motor as a rotary phase converter... as people are charging an arm and a leg even for used 3 phase motors...
