I cobbled together a phase converter using a Baldor five-horse motor rated at 13 amps for a full load. I have the Baldor wired to a junction box and then directly to a receptacle into which I plug the mill. I have a 30 amp breaker at my basement board that covers input (230 volts). My 1.5 horse mill has the usual array of heaters and fuses.
In your opinion, would it be advisable to break things up with say a 15-amp, three-phase breaker at the junction box mentioned above? As always, thanks for the help.
