Rotary phase converters, troubleshooting modifying etc was created by smc.collins
anybody know of any good resources for building modifying repairing rotary phase converter ? I have a spindle drive erroring out due to low input voltage on the generate leg. voltages look ok idling, but that doesn't mean shit I can spin the drive up slowly, so I know that it it a inrush current demand situation, I am open to ideas on a resolution, I need this unit to last a bit longer while I wait for permits for 3 phase to be brought onto my property.

RPC plans
Surplus Center has caps for tuning.
HGR Surplus has big motors for sale, assuming you're close enough that shipping isn't insane.
Hope that helps...

I'm in the USA it's a balanced phase design with caps on l1 l2 l3 for balance on generated leg and start caps. It's a 15hp motor it's a bit undersized imho

My rule of thumb, based on limited experience, is that a 2:1 factor is needed. As in - 10hp consumer equipment = 20hp RPC motor.
