Hello PM members,
I purchased a Hardinge HLV-H that is in pretty good shape for a great price, but made the mistake of not verifying the voltage because I got carried away with the price.
I know that I can swap the motor and coolant pump for 3ph 220V motors, but if I can get a way with using a step up transformer I would rather go that route.
After doing some math and verifying with an electrical engineer, I will need a step up transformer with 3.42KVA minimum. I think the common size available is 4KVA, but I can't find a source for one. Does anyone one have any inputs or sources for step up transformers? I'm ok with buying a used transformer.
Transformer Requirements
Input: 220V 3ph
Output: 575V 3ph @ 2.4 amps
Any input is greatly appreciated.
