    Help: Colchester Bantam 600, How to power 600v 3 phase panel On 220v single phase.

    Motor Nameplates, Vfd, Panel Close-Up Pictures -> Imgur: The magic of the Internet Hi guys, I'm sorry for the late replies, I'm crazy swamped right now. :( Here is a pretty full list of pictures to cover most of what was asked of me with regards to the different motors I have, vfd and...

    Help: Colchester Bantam 600, How to power 600v 3 phase panel On 220v single phase.

    Sorry guys, busy day. Ill post pics of the vfd I currently have and the nameplates of the 220v motors I have. If none of the parts in that panel are compatible or able to be modified easily then I will just have to do it by bypassing and hooking up those switches the way that was mentioned. Ill...

    The original motor has been removed from the machine already by me and the nameplate I already posted in a link above after I was asked and in a post that is yet to be approved. Original motor nameplate plus panel pictures -> Imgur: The magic of the Internet Machine Nameplate ->...

    Ahh yes, the outside word, I forget that people monitor these forums and have lives also. No worries and thanks for the update. Just wasn't sure if it was my picture links or what or if there was a way to circumvent what ever triggers it to hold some and not the others. Thermite, I just want to...

    Sorry guys, I've been replying but they are holding back certain messages for some reason, Ill wait a day and re post if they don't come through by then. Is there any reason They hold them back and an estimated time frame for when they go over them and allow them? Thanks

    Help: Colchester Bantam 600, How to power 600v 3 phase panel On 220v single phase.

    My apologies, I seem to be creating a lot of confusion by over explaining myself in the wrong ways. 1: I'm not dead set on using a vfd and dont think I need full power but dont know how to judge that, I'm not sure why I've come off that way. I have stated I have a 220v single aswell as 220v 3ph...

    I mean, You quoted Him but seem to be throwing sarcasm on me, Hopefully I'm mistaken here as this would be disappointing considering I thought this was a place you could come and get useful, polite and helpful responses... If it was sarcasm directed at me that would be quite unnecessary of you...

    Help: Colchester Bantam 600, How to power 600v 3 phase panel On 220v single phase.

    thermite, I'm confused by your most recent post, forgive my ignorance if it is directed to me. To clarify my situation I bought a mill and now a lathe for my home garage personal use. I have very basic knowledge of them and am just learning. I'm able to use the mill just fine for the things I'm...

    Help: Colchester Bantam 600, How to power 600v 3 phase panel On 220v single phase.

    Hi Strostkovy, If I do that (I read 220, 3phase had smoother cutting, something to do with the way the voltage cycles? I could be way off.) Don't quote me on this as it was a quick read and Id have to dig to find the link. Also something about no Reverse? (or instant reverse) Again just...

    Hello thermite, thanks for your reply. The original power hookup and motor were 600v 3ph. I actually have three motors right now including that one. The original motor has no other voltage options. I forgot to post pics of the name plate on it and will post them here now. I'm assuming there is...

    Hi all, Just another LostSoul here that jumped head first in to a 600v 3 phase Lathe and is trying to get it to work on 220v Single phase or 220v 3 phase with a VFD (I have a vfd already to power my Bridgeport Mill, another story...) I have a 220v single phase motor and a 220v 3 phase motor for...
