My heavy duty Phase A Matic 300HD makes a clicking sound periodically whether or not the lathe I am using it with is connected is running or not. Is this normal?
 
The only thing that might click in those is a voltage relay.

If it is clicking, it may be dropping out when motor is in use. You might check with a clamp on meter to see if the current is spiking up when it clicks. Other than that, ???
 
I just finished talking to customer service at Phase-A-Matic Inc, and I think they may have figured out the problem. They think it is due to a power surge, they also said that the clicking will get worse over time until it's a continuos chatter. They are sending me a resistor free of charge to put in the phase converter. My guess is that they have delt with this problem before; because they were more then happy to send the resistor free of charge
