I know this gets asked pretty regularly here, but I also know the answers seem to fluctuate based on the actual machine being wired.
A little background, I am looking at buying this B&S #5 Grinder locally, it was hooked up to 440 service, I have 220 single phase off the highway, and a Cederberg Rotary converter running my Bridgeport.
Question is basically, what would be my most efficient hook up for this grinder?
VFD?
Jump off my rotary thru step up transformer?
Whole different Converter?
Re-wire motor on grinder to run 240 3 ph?
I really know very little about wiring 3 ph so I don't want to screw it up.
Note, I also have a 3 horse 440 3 PH pedestal buffer I got for next to nothing, it is sitting in a corner unused, as I stole the pedestal and mounted a single phase buffer on it for a quick solution, so bonus points if the wiring solution for the Grinder allows me to run the buffer.
