Ok I made a RPC last night and I will post photos of it tonight.
So far I have a 3 hp three phase motor for a idler motor, a motor start switch and a 4 pole three phase 10A switched outlet.
the basic structure is a arch of aluminum stirp bent around the motor cage and secured at the motor base. the motor was a Junk one and it must have been used as a pump motor in a previous life it came with a mild steel plate base and sheet metal guard over the shaft with a lovejoy coupling.
On the aluminium stirp I have mounted the three phase plug and the box containing a 370 uf start cap, a momentary push button and some terminal strip.
so far I have the single phase coming from the motor start switch to (l1, L2 straight to the motor and then off L2 a push button and then this is connected to the Start cap ( Am I ambitious about this switch surviving the first test? )
anyway I will post photos tonight so you can give me some constructive input.
