I have a 3HP CK Monarch Lathe and a 1HP Bridgeport mill. I just purchased a 10HP Rotary Phase Converter. I understand how to wire one machine but want to wire both. Not necessarily for simultanous operation - although I'm sure the converter would handle both - but to be able to turn either one on while the converter is running. Can someone point me to a diagram or draw one up? The converter came with a junction box that allows for 1 phase input and 3 phase output (three wires - L1, L2, L3.) Much appreciated, Roger. It is normal for Monarchs to have a fusible safety switch.

Rotary Phase Converter FAQs. General Selection and Application Installation Operation and Maintenance. What are ROTO-CON® and ROTOVERTER® power converters? ROTO-CON and ROTOVERTER are rotary phase converters. These converters manufacture three-phase current from a single-phase supply. Wifi Protector Pro Serial Number. This allows use of three-phase. ROTO-CON and ROTOVERTER are rotary phase converters. These converters. The patented ROTOVERTER is the only rotary phase converter employing a tapped winding. The tap adjustment. Care needs to be taken to provide proper phasing of control circuits and capacitors (if any) on the load side of the starter.

Certainly on 10EEs and related machines. Possibly also on CKs and related machines. Let that be your lathe disconnect.

Now, add a fusible safety switch to your B'port. Finally, bus the two machines together, and to your RPC. A to A to A (and to L1); B to B to B; C to C to C (and to L2). There should be a disconnecting means on the input of the RPC, too, but that could be the RPC's feeder CB, if it is within ten feet and within eyesight of the operator.

You could use a cordset, perhaps a Twist-Lock® one, as the disconnecting means at other small three phase loads also connected to the RPC. But, you generally want a fusible safety switch for this purpose on 'integral HP' loads. Here is one way. In the attached pic, I've run 4 THHN wires (A, B, C, and Ground) from the phase converter out to each box, daisy-chained as Peter has stated above. Each square box will hold a NEMA L14-30 receptacle, each machine gets a male L14-30P plug.

An important feature, should you have multiple machines running, decide to expand in the future, is to 'pigtail' each outlet inside the junction box, rather than allow the terminal screw to be an integral part of the 'downstream' circuit, that would also carry full amperage. There is an added bonus of the pigtailing procedure. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Piano Free Mp3 Download. The receptacle is sooo much easier to 'seat' inside the junction box (before the coverplate is on).

A possible tradeoff is that a large size junction box is needed. I use the 4-11/16' square sized boxes, with a flat coverplate. I use a holesaw and drill two appropriate thru-holes for the 8-32 mounting screws.

Purchasing the flat coverplate not only saves $ at the big box store, it also resolves a minor problem.that they don't carry an appropriately punched coverplate for the 4-11/16' junction box that also works with the L14-30 receptacle [img]smile.gif[/img].
