Hello,
Wondering if anyone can help me
I know a bit but not alot about electric motors, and also a little less about Phase converters, inverters, only that it enables you to run 3 phase electric motors on a domestic 240v household supply, but as very recently I found out that this is not the full story, and it can get quite expensive. I bought a Emco maximat 10v Milling machine that was fitted with a 3 Phase motor, I thought this will be ok , I will just go out and get a phase converter/inverter priced it at £75 all in (I live in the UK), spoke to the person on the phone ,they asked me just to make sure, is it a Dual Voltage motor they said, I went and looked at the motors spec plate, it only read 415v , the person on the phone took a sharp intake of breath and said it's not dual voltage then, and said to me that you will need this and that at a cost of 200 and something ££s.
I need advice,
Is there any other way to make this electric motor run without me spending over £200, it's only a small motor. I would most appreciate anybodies help/advice
Thanks
