20 Hp 240V Single Phase runs on 60 amp breaker

I was setting up an air compressor the other day and by accident had it running on a 60 amp breaker instead of the 100. Decided to make a video of this because it illustrates how the transformer converter is so much better at starting heavy loads then the rotary converter. To run this compressor off a rotary converter you would need a 75 horse rotary. Who wants to buy that and start that at home?

They me start by saying thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am building a powder coating business from nothing on the side and putting everything back into the business and sand blasting is a very big part of what I do and I need as much cfm as I can get on single phase power and large air compressor are not cheap as you know. I will be trying to learn as much as I can from you thanks again

Doug been following you since 2009, I have all your media and have since then successfully setup a 5, 7.5HP and now a 15hp 3 Phase motors using the Transformer method. While I'm well familiar with the TC method, still love watching your videos firing firing up these bigger motors on Resi Power with the quickness! Please post more, and also show in more detail how you have your wiring setup in the control box. We don't care about the mess, we know how testing goes.

I know you lose horsepower but do you lose rpm if it’s a light load?

Will this method work for running a 3 Phase welder?

Do you have a place that shows how you wired that up? I have a similar compressor that is a 3 phase but my ranch is single phase.

That's pretty impressive. What's the total cost for all the parts needed?

Bought the book. I have questions on connecting converter to main single phase and how I connect to get 230v out 3 times. Pics aren’t that clear to me. I need to run a Quincy air compressor that has a 30hp 3 phase motor. It’s for my garage on my ranch. I understand electricity but I’ve never made my own converter or made my own 3 phase. Can you help?

On your single phase transformer follow diagram for 240v (for example my trans it is H1 to H7 (line 1) and H10 to H4 (line 2) this gives voltage of 120v or 240v on the secondary side depending on how you connect the X wires together. (On my trans I connect X2 to X4 (120v) and then connect it DIRECT to H1 to H7 which in turn gives me the 360v on the X1 to x3 aka Line 3 to caps. Follow diagram and test with multimeter and transformers are all not the same but the few I’ve done were similar.
