RPC questions

Thank you. I think I am going to put it in the shed directly behind the shop. They share a common wall, it will help with the noise. I hope lol. And I have read that the higher the rpm the better the hertz. Dont know..:dunno: But as long as this will work to run my lathe, I will love it lol.

Thanks,
Chris

No Worries Tamper!
the noise shouldn't be too bad unless the motor bearings are worn.
I put a video on YouTube for you. CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW!

I made a simple non-balanced RPC, that will work for any HP rating, providing you change the microfarad rating in respect to the motors HP rating, and have a supply circuit of sufficient capacity.

DO NOT USE THIS TYPE OF CONVERTER ON SYSTEMS THAT REQUIRE BALANCED POWER BETWEEN PHASES:nono:
DO NOT WORK ON ANY CIRCUIT UNTIL MAIN POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AND ALL CAPACITORS HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED:nono:
DO READ UP ON PHASE BALANCING:))
DO READ UP ON POWER FACTOR, JUST FOR FUN! LOL, BUT SERIOUSLY IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE WANT TO BALANCE PHASES.:))
I'LL BE POSTING A WIRING DIAGRAM AS SOON AS I CAN DRAW IT UP, IT'S AFTER MIDNIGHT GONNA TRY TO GET SOME BEAUTY SLEEP. I'LL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THAT I NEED A BUNCH MORE.....:lmao:
THANKS FOR WATCHING AND ENJOY!

shoot me a message if you need one built for any application including tolerance based balanced units.

You are most welcome, Tamper.
I joined this forum to learn things from others and to assist others if i can.
I'll get the wiring diagram together for you, and post it as soon as i can.
