[PSUBS-MAILIST] 3 phase power

[k6fee via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
I have a rotory converter on my boat. Keep in mind you will only get about 2/3 of the input power on the output as some losses are acrewed to spin the converter. Also 208 volt motors will run on 220 just a bit faster than on 208.
There are solidstate converters out there, no rotating parts and more power . Check

Hi All,I need some input on converting single phase power to 3 phase.  I am thinking about going with a rotary phase converter for the two small motors on the lathe.  I am not sure though if my 208 V motors can handle 220-240 volt power.  I need to check my power source but it will be at least 220 I am guessing.  Maybe I need to use an inverter with variable output power if that exists?Hank
