Son in law is looking at buying some equipment from an old welding shop. He’s 7 hours away.
They are driving a 15 hp 3Ph motor with a 1 hp single phase via belts to generate 3 phase for 5 hp. SEWAG tells me there are some capacitors in the mix somewhere but I didn’t see them via FaceTime this afternoon. They have a similar set up driven by a 1/2 hp 1 Ph, for 1 Hp 3ph.
Can someone point me to info on these homemade phase converters?
