I have a DSG 1307 lathe, mid 1970 era. It is currently running on 3 phase via a rotary phase converter.
I would like to swap the motor out for a single phase motor. I looked over the wiring schematic and it looks like the main motor and the coolant pump are both 3 phase, and then a transformer steps down the voltage using 2 legs of the 3 phase to power the controls, lights, etc.
Does anyone have experience swapping out a three phase motor for single phase on a DSG 1307? I’m assuming it is a matter of swapping the main motor, coolant pump motor and substituting in a transformer for the lights/controls, but would like to hear from anyone else that has done this.
Thank you.
