This is concerning a Lincoln Idealarc R3S-325. Converting to single phase.
Reading a lot of posts about doing the conversion and finding this utube vid
Lincoln R3S-325 3ph To Single Phase Conversion w/capacitor - YouTube
In trying to figure out and wrap my head around this. I found a few online calculators
1. Calculate RC series circuit
RC-Series circuit, online calculator
This one wanted some numbers I had no idea about, the resistance value. So I googled and found the "" Capacitor Impedance Calculator ""
2. Capacitor Impedance Calculator

Plugging in different uf spit out different resistance values that I plugged in.
Of course I didn't do of this before buying a 45uf and 50uf cap. rookie -- I know / I know lol
Here is the workflow I used.
I have been playing around on online calculators, using different uf. 1st using a capacitor resistance calculator uf + 60Hz and " for the states" and 2nd inputting that resistance + 220v in the phase shift calculator. The different uf gives the same angle shift 45 ° and 155.56 voltage. But it does change the Currant/Amps, the larger the uf the more amps.
45uf = 58.9463R = 2.64A
50uf = 53.0516R = 2.93A
70uf = 37.894R = 4.11A
