Here is a quick infographic or short summary of wiring for your reference. Here is an interesting video on that:. The starting capacitor needs to be removed from the circuit, once your idler motor-generator gets going.
You may also include run capacitors to balance voltages between the three legs:. You can add more run capacitors in parallel for bigger units. The same goes for the start capacitors, which could be wired in parallel as well. Working with electricity is dangerous and is not recommended if you are not a qualified licensed electrician. The video of the installation in the instruction manual in PDF is also included. Before you get started, check your local electrical codes.
Disconnecting the power before you start working is a must. Here are more detailed instructions from this company:. Here is a basic wiring diagram from this company and official instruction manual external link :. This is a wire sizing diagram 2. Refer to their manual for more detailed info and instructions. I hope that when I get done with mine it looks as good. Marshall; Thanks.
And it works great too. He bought it from me for his shop, he's into custom Roll Cages. Mine has been running for almost 5 years now, and has given me great service.

Dang it Jim, I started the above post to ask why all those pulley flanges aren't filled with belts and just plain got dazzled with Jamies work. Jim, like I've said before, your system appears to be simple, perfectly functional, devoid of ugliness and close to my definition of perfect.
I noticed the craftily placed, vertical pieces of plywood to restrain an errant belt, either way. Bob; No, I don't polish, just like to keep things clean.
And just to show you the first one I made, and it's quite the " eye sore ". But like I said, it runs great and has served the purpose for almost 5 years. Jamie p. Thanks for the complements. Sorry Don, been busy with day to day stuff. Aye carumba, here goes, lol. Two DES rotary phase converters looking for a new home. They were used together to power our wire EDM for one year, but have not been needed since we moved a few months ago.
Please keep in mind that the small one weighs lbs and the large one maxed out the lb scale. Glad to answer questions -Eben. Here are some construction examples - how things can fit together in surplus electrical cabinets.
These are all close variations of the r. This used to hang outside the shop under a wide roof overhang. It is built in a 10x10x4 j-box which is bolted to the motor case in place of the original motor j-box. Now it is a "portable", sits on the floor with a knife switch and 3 twist-lock receptacles bolted to the "wall" side of the frame.
The idler sits on the floor under it. The large run capacitors are 92uF, surplus from some kind of discharge lighting gear. This is in an 8x12x16 type 12R cabinet. There is no connection to the transformer secondary. The contactor is slaved to the potential relay. The 3rd is a 7. This one uses a split-primary V transformer, with the split primary providing the neutral reference and the secondary powering the contactor coils.
The smaller contactor above the potential relay switches the start capacitors. Barrows liked this post. Bob; Nice work. I love seeing neat wiring.
What type of camera did you use to take the pics? I can never get good pictures like yours. That last one was real sweet, I like the way you provided the extra loop on the leads going to the front panel.
Do not purchase a digital static phase converter for this type of configuration. Static phase converters are only able to operate a single piece of hardware at a time. Static phase converters are usually utilized in warehouses and facilities that require less horsepower. A three phase motor can be operated with a static phase converter.
However, the total horsepower output of the electric motor will be decreased since only two windings are activated. A rotary phase converter should always be utilized to maintain various machines that operate continuously throughout the day. In some cases, you may only require a high phase of electricity to activate your motor.
A static phase converter should be utilized for this type of application. In addition, static phase converters are less efficient when compared to rotary phase converters. If you have questions or concerns about rotary phase converters, give our team a call by phone at to receive assistance. To operate a piece of hardware with a voltage rating, you will be required to invest in a step-up 3 phase transformer. The phase transformer will increase the voltage rating from to to meet the requirements of your project.
A rotary phase converter is not designed to adjust voltages. The input voltage for a rotary phase converter will be identical to the output voltage. On the other hand, a rotary phase converter can be used to enhance a single phase electrical input to a three phase electrical output. If you need help boosting your voltage, give our staff a call by phone at View our catalog of rotary phase converters and transformers for sale.
The process of sizing a rotary phase converter is not complicated. Prior to choosing a digital phase converter, you will be required to inspect the equipment in your warehouse or facility to determine its electrical power demands. You will also need to be familiar with the voltage requirements of your equipment. Depending on the requirements of your hardware, you will be required to invest in a rotary phase converter that supports small loads or large loads.
If you believe your facility will be required to accommodate a larger load in the future, we recommend purchasing a 3 phase rotary converter that is engineered for complex loads. While your current configuration may not require this type of phase converter, purchasing a rotary phase converter that is able to accommodate larger loads will prepare you for the future.
For example, if you have a piece of equipment that is 40 horsepower HP , you will be required to purchase a rotary phase converter with a power rating of 80 horsepower HP.
While this method will not apply to all applications, it will give you an idea of the power rating required for the equipment in your commercial facility.
A rotary phase converter is able to be installed in a variety of locations to accommodate the configuration of your hardware and layout of your facility. Phase converters are engineered to be installed inside or outside your commercial facility.
Depending on the square footage of your workspace, you may choose to install the panel inside near your hardware that requires three phase electrical power. On the other hand, you may decide to install the panel outside to save space in your facility.
The idler is also designed to be installed inside or outside to meet your requirements. If you have questions about the installation process of a rotary phase converter, give our team a call by phone at or fill out our contact form.
