The electrical setup I have in my shop is as follows.
I have a static phase converter that starts a 3hp 220v 3 phase motor ( pony motor)
I’ve wired that motor to a junction panel and connected my surface grinder with separate vacuum motor as well as my band saw to that panel.
Both machines start and run fine.
I just wired my series one Bridgeport to the same panel and when I start the Bridgeport it draws a high load and the motor is louder than expected, sort of a groaning humming sound.
Once the motor is up to speed it quiets down. It’s a 1hp induction motor and I start it with no load, slacken the V belt
The motor is a Fairbanks, I believe it’s called a pancake motor, and it’s rated at 3.8A at 220v.
Any ideas what might be wrong.
Thanks, Steve
