I just purchased a used Ronk Roto-Con rotary phase converter with the following specs.
Converter size - 20 KVA
Largest single 3 phase motor - 10hp
Total 3 phase motors - 20 hp
Single phase input - 96 A
Mainly what concerns me is the minimum motor load of 3 KVA. My goal is to power a 2hp Bridgeport mill and a 3hp, 2 speed Victor lathe. Will this rotary phase converter work or did I just purchase a boat anchor? If it makes any difference the motor is a Baldor ODP.
