It's so funny you made a video about GOOD customer service. It's just that I have found for the most part, customer service has left the planet. So glad you had a good experience with American Rotary. Looking forward to more videos.
The company I work for has been using American. Rotary for several years for our 4'x 8" heavy industrial CNC router and has never failed. Good luck to you and your NEW place!!!!
Inefficient for sure. But, when you have only 1 phase in the sticks, not much else you can do. Nah, shouldn't be using breakers as disconnects/switches unless they're rated for that. Plus, they're in control of the generator field current for voltage regulation(same as on a motorcycle)...not like it's a transformer.
Keven. I looked a several motor-driven 3-phase converters including American Rotary. I ended up using the non motor-driven solid state 3-phase converter manufactured by "Phase Perfect". As the name implies, it makes a perfect 3-phase. I'm very happy with it.
Kevin, not suppose to have flammable materials stored or flammable waste stored within 3 feet of electrical panel. I'm pretty sure that's the osha number but, side note.....my insurance company just nailed me for having some oil stored in a corner where there was also electrical panels. Much like your set-up. Just a heads up. Love ya brother.
Kevin, good job. I remember using a 3 phase converter(5 hp) in the 1992 when I was a partner in a cutter sharpening(end mills and drill bits, etc) business. We had 3 Cincinnati #2 5 horse grinders. We could run all three at the same time as long as we started them up one at a time. I am guessing with your unit you could start all 3 machines at the same time without any issues. I couldn't wait to get back into machining in 1994.
How is using 2 legs the same as a split single phase? Wouldn’t the phase between the 2 legs be different in the two scenarios? Obviously it works I just don’t understand it.
That was interesting. I don't mess with ANY kind of wiring because I'm color blind and that tends to make things interesting.

Are you using switch rated breakers or standard ?

Jack of all trades master of all👍👏👊

Awesome job.
I,ve only used Phase o matic myself.
Thanks for the info, looks like the system I need for my shop
Learned something I never knew existed.
Very informative thanks for sharing this info
Thanks Kevin

The utility company couldn't supply 3 ph electricity?
big step forward...nice

if your just using just one machine at a time, and your largest motor is 7 1/2 hp, why wouldn't you pick a 15 hp system?
When selecting a phase converter you need to pick a unit with double the horsepower of your total peak load. 10HP motor requires 20HP RPC/DPC.
