Can a rotary phase converter power a transformer?
The rotary phase converter to be used is a 15hp 220V, 28+/- amps, 3ph output.
I was told that a 10 kva or 7.5 kva, 480V/240V step-down 3Ph transformer powered in reverse would produce 480V 10-7.5 kva
The intended use is to power a old 1950s, 440V,3ph,7.5hp-3.5 ,11.1 amps dual speed lathe motor.
Will this setup work?
What issues might I expect e.g. volt/amp loss/gain,or safety issues?
Is there a VFD that would work as well for the same application?
Thanks.
