Is your unit wired like the sample schematic in the referenced link, or is the problem starting the RPC idler and connecting the load motor?
I noticed the Arco sample schematic does not have a start capacitor shown. Without a momentary phase shift to the third leg of the idler motor, you will need to get the idler shaft to near speed some other way before you apply single phase power to motor leads A and C. The magnetic starter in the Arco schematic looks to me like one that is used to start a 3 phase motor from 3 phase power. An application that seems wrong to me here.
Hello, I'm new to the forum and also have an ARCO Electric,
Here's something I picked and used for my rotophaseCan someone please explain to me how to correctly wire an Arco 5hp. rotary phase converter. I would like to use a magnetic stater to start the converter along with a main disconnect switch. Thanks Scotty J.
