Just built a Rotary phase converter with a pony motor start. I'm having issues blowing fuses when I attempt to spin the motor up to speed. Assuming my wiring is correct, would pulley size create the issue? My 3 phase motor pulley is a 6" and my pony motor pulley is a 3". I feel that this may be causing a excessive draw on my power system causing the blown fuses. My fuses and switch are all 60 amp rated so I assume these wouldn't be an issue. Do I need to get the generator motor closer to running RPM (1750)before kicking in my 220V 1 phase power?
I'm doing a pony motor due to my limited electrical experience, so please dumb down your replies.
Generator:
10 hp Baldor
60 amp
1750 Rpm
Pony:
3/4 hp
1750 rpm
