I understand rotary phase power and the conversion process. All my research tells me that once installed, I can run multiple machines off it, if I purchase a large enough phase convertor.
1. Would I wire it through the shop just like wiring another box? Install a breaker panel, route the output from the convertor to it, then run individual wiring from breakers to machines.
That has always been my limitations in the shop is power limitation.
My garage feeds off a 100 amp from the house.
2. Would this limit the use of the phase convertor?
3. Any special considerations to take into account? i.e special wiring, use specific breaker panels, etc.
Thanks for any help. This Bridgeport purchase has really pushed things to the next level in the shop. I understand I can run VFD's for everything, but want to move up to a larger compressor also. The medium size 110/220 I have been running never keeps up with the usage, and it is time to go larger for my needs overall. My research on VFD has said that some compressors do not do well because of the cycling on them.
I have been told the electrical gurus on here and help me solve my dilemma and questions. I look forward to the help.
