Starting a new thread instead of continuing my other one. Thanks for everyones help so far. Sitting here watching the Super Bowl and trying to design my circuit. Have a couple of questions first and some specs.
30HP idler
Pony start
Have up to 200 Amps in the house but will try running this initially from a 100 amp feed in the garage.
Going to be used for a Hardinge Conquest 42 CNC lathe with a 10HP spindle. Might add my 1HP surface grinder to it later on but I'm not worried about it now.
1. Looking at contactors. Leaning towards a Size 4. Since I'm only applying 2 phases to the idler do I need a 3 phase contactor or is there a cheaper/simpler contactor like a single phase contactor I can use? I'm also having a hard time finding used ones that activate with 24 volt.
2. With the pony start do I need a potential relay?
Will hopefully have a circuit design up by tomorrow. Thanks
