I am new to this forum and admittedly I don’t know as much about hooking up phase converters as I should for attempting a project like this. Regardless, I bought a 10 Hp Siemans rotary phase converter that supposedly worked. I hooked it up the best I could and got the motor to start when I flip the breaker, but the “switch” or Contactor on the top right arcs and then the motor shuts off after a brief period. I know I must have something wrong but I am over my head. Attached are a sketch I made, and a couple pictures of the current situation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
