i have a 10hp 3ph platen grinder (used for cyl heads, exh manifolds, etc) bought new 1986. at my present location i am forced to power it from a rotary ph converter (20hp) running current 22-28@
this machine will not start under load at this point. inrush current 170-180@ no load (ie: nothing on the table)
i have no experience with 3phase soft starts and because this machine is required to start under a load i question if a soft start would cure this. anyone have experience with this?
fwiw in other shops it would dim the lights for a couple seconds on start up. don't remember it doing that back when i bought it but then the memory is questionable
i don't believe this is a ph converter issue which is why i didn't post it there
