Hi all, i am in the middle of setting up a new workshop and this time i am fitting an RPC to save altering my machinery.
I have a 2.2kw rotary and intending to drive the following, only one at a time though.
2hp BP Mill,
3hp Colchester lathe,
1.5hp Boxford lathe.
I dry tested the rotary and as expected, the voltages were unbalanced. What i need to know is, if i am alternately driving 3 machines with differing loads, i expect the best balance to be on the 3hp load as it is rated for that size. With the smaller motors, is it worth adding some local balancing caps at each machine to help balance or is it just not that important?
Thanks in advance
Dave
