Hey guys with the help of the forums and a few different designs i have put together a 10hp RPC. I have a question in regards to the neutral line and the ground line.
my setup consists of:
my main 240v single phase panel has the neutral line and grounds separated. the bare ground goes to a rod in the ground.
i have 240v single phase going into my RPC box to power everything. I brought the Neutral line and ground line into the RPC box and are separated still. i use the neutral because my 2 contactor coils are 120 single phase.
then i send the 3 phase legs from the RPC box to a 3 phase panel which has the breakers for the different machines. what i noticed i did was i brought the neutral line down into the 3 phase panel instead of the ground line.
what should i bring into the 3 phase panel? neutral or the bare ground? and why?
i have 3 things running on this RPC. i only run 1 at a time. 1st is a forklift battery charger, 2nd is a makino rmc55 mill which power goes through a transformer to go from 230v to 200v and 3rd is a hurco mill which also goes through a 230v to 208 transformer.
thanks for the help in advance
