Hey Everyone,
I’ll be installing a phase perfect converter next week, and I’m debating where to mount it. I visited a shop yesterday with the same size phase perfect to get an idea of the noise I should expect. Not terrible, but enough that I’m considering mounting mine in an out of the way conditioned attic, and wiring a red light by my three phase panel to indicate when it is powered up.
My primary question is regarding replacing capacitors and how difficult/time consuming it is to replace them. After discussions with phase perfect, and reading past threads on maintenance, I expect to be replacing them every 12-18 months.
The space I have in mind is not terribly cramped, but also not as convenient as the eye level space between my single phase and three phase panels. I know some folks can’t even hear the sound these make, but I definitely can, and I spend pretty much all day every day in the shop and would prefer less noise when machines aren’t running if possible.
Any other upsides/downsides I’m not considering before buying supplies to wire it up?
