Need more help!
I have a Sharp Lathe with a variable speed controler and a 5 hp spindle motor that is wired for 220 3 phase. The pump is wired for 110 single phase.
I only have 240 volt single phase coming in the shop.
I was told by Sharp since the machine has a variable speed controler it can be wired single phase by wiring the 1st 2 legs and the ground??
If so my question is, having 240 volts coming in instead of 220 does anything else have to be changed?
Also going to a single phase 240 volts what size breaker will be needed?
Tag on machine>
Supply Voltage - 220
Phase - 3
FLA 16.8
Largest Motor 5hp
Here are some pics of the electrical box>
