Probably money well spent on either a component or packaged enclosure with all the components wired in. That way you are not guessing as to the component ratings/specifications.
If I dont have the right capacitors I will order the kit, probaly the same price as ordering the right capacitor.Probably money well spent on either a component or packaged enclosure with all the components wired in. That way you are not guessing as to the component ratings/specifications.
I have seen the same thing ---I knew of a one man shop who pull started his RPC by wrapping a belt around the shaft.
Just ordered the first kit, thanks for the help everyone.Probably money well spent on either a component or packaged enclosure with all the components wired in. That way you are not guessing as to the component ratings/specifications.
I built a 7.5 hp RPC to power my 3 hp lathe.I just got two 7.5 hp 3 phase motors from my uncle, I’m using the better one for a RPC. I have a 60 amp 220 volt circuit running only the RPC. Will this wiring diagram work. The switch I am using is rated for 7.5 hp 3 phase and I’m using 8 gauge wires for all of it. The highest HP machine being powered is a 3 HP lathe, I hope to be able to run the lathe and 2 HP mill at the same time without having issues.View attachment 464447
