Thanks for the video. I build a 3 phase a converter to drive my 10HP compressor motor few years ago but I wire the motor to run a 220 v and I had to add a capcitor with a time delay to be able to start it. But when I look your video, I think I need to review this project. I went with 220 v becaue of the capacitors.
I appreciate your videos sir. Wealth of knowledge. I have somewhat of an understanding of 3 phase power. I own two IR compressors and I would like to obtain your resources and expertise on VFD or the rotary phase situation. Do you have an email or website?
If you mean can you build a transformer converter and feed that into a VFD? No, the transformer converter needs to feed into the motor you are running and it needs to feed directly into that motor with out going through speed controls etc. If your wanted to run a three phase VFD then you would have to feed that with a rotary converter. Although some VFD's can be feed with single phase and output three phase. You have to derate the vfd though.
@@unique3phase ahh. OK. I was thinking VFD on your screw compressor....however to make that work. Most modern Gardner Denver compressors are VFD and demand regulated. I bought your book btw, interesting stuff.
