Awesome job sir I've got a question for you. I'm sure you've said in a video before you don't have 3 phase. How do you run all of those motors? I have a 20 horse 3 phase for a resaw machine. I'm trying to figure out how to run it.
He has a rotary phase converter. You have to go way back in the videos to find that one. Talk to a good electrician about how to get one that will work with what you have.
Hi Floyd, If it's a single motor, I would suggest using a 20-30hp VFD, you can give it single phase and it will give you 3 phase as well as ramp up and breaking. So you can start the large motor with out a huge inrush of current and you can use it for breaking to slow the motor when stopping. I have my 20hp dust collector running off a 20hp vfd. I also have a Phase Perfect which will create up to 60hp of 3 phase power. Reason to use a phase perfect is if you have computer electronics or multiple motors on one machine to run.
Hi there! I am running a sawmill myself and looking to get into some more custom work. What do you charge for something like this? I am assuming by the hour?
