Hi All,
I would like some advice on the circuit (wire size and breaker) required to run a 3ph 10hp inverter duty motor motor with a 20hp VFD on 1ph 220 power. This combo is probably a little overkill for my hobby shop lathe (monarch) but it's what I have. I'm wondering if the fact that I will rarely if ever fully load the motor will allow me to go to a slightly smaller breaker than would be required if I were really using the full potential of the motor. In other words I am trying to minimize the service I direct from my 150amp breaker box.
Thanks for the advice
