Hello, I just bought a 16x40 lathe. It has a 3hp/4hp motor, three phase, mag start, controlled by a rotary switch for high and low speed. I received a 600 p-o-m series sfc with it. I have a twain 5hp motor for a rfc. When I switch to high speed it blows the 30 amp breaker. I spoke to p-o-m, and was told to increase the cap size to 400-480 because the higher load and length of load. Will this be enough?
And, how critical is wire size? I'm temporally running this off 12-4 S.O. cord that is about 30' in length.
I have a 7.5hp 1100rpm 3ph motor, but from what I have read the 1100rpm will not work. Can anyone shine some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance for your time. Be safe. schick
