I have a 7.5 HP vane type compressor that I am researching how to run on single phase power. Swapping to a single phase motor is not an option. Anyone have any knowledge of sizing a phase converter? It looks like I can find rotary phase converters that say 7.5 HP for around $600. But I don't know if this is one of those situations where I really should be getting a 10 HP converter for the 'extra overhead power'. Advice?

Mark I posted a similar thread a yr or so ago.
After doing the reasearch I opted to sell my rotery phase converter and dump the 3 phase comp. motor and replace with a single phase (of correct frame) on my compresor. At the end of the day the expense was a wash. and the complexity was (single phase) was eliminated. |
