Gentlemen,
Im tired, just finished up an emergency job. I am having a hard time finding the math for single to three phase power requirements, and would really appreciate some help from the electrical math wizards here!
I have a half arsed rotary phase converter ive put together to run my Hurco km5p. I managed to get things fired up the other night, and im pretty happy about that
I have a 240->600 transformer running to a 20hp 600v 3ph motor, out to the machine. Works well, needs some balancing, but ill work on that later.
What I want to know is;
- the 20 hp motor is oversize for the requirements of the knee mill cnc, can I run other things on this setup at the same time? (20 hp motor was free, that's why im using it)
- If I can use it to support multiple equipment, what size SINGLE phase transformer do I need to run at max capacity for the motor?
- What size breakers (amperage) do I need to run above transformer, so I don't risk cooking anything? (each device past rpc will be individually fused)
Thanks a ton
