I have a Baldor 230V 3 phase 15hp motor I wish to use as a RPC. To start it, I plan to spin it up to operating RPM with a pony motor of 3/4hp. How will I know what direction to spin the RPC 15hp motor in? Does this matter? Is the RPC motor direction of rotation important? Could I screw up by rotating the RPC motor one way, then engage a switch, only to have the RPC try to slam itself into reverse?
In the future I will probably go with an American Rotary 15hp rated panel. For now I hope to use the Baldor as is with maybe a few run capacitors added in.
Thanks in advance.....Dan Miller
