Apologies if this has been covered, I'm not able to find an answer by searching the forums.
Does the idler motor speed matter for constructing a rotary phase converter?
I have a newly purchased lathe that needs 3-phase power and from what I've been reading, a Monarch runs better with a RPC than a VFD so I'm looking for an idler motor. So far I've been seeing 1740 or 3540 rpm. Does it make any difference?
