Well, I purchased the phase converter from American rotary and now I'm into another problem.
I got everything hooked up and tryed to power up the mill only to find out that it was wired for 208 instead of 240. One of the transformers is a dedicated 208 v, the other 2 are convertable 208,230,460. The only reasonable solution was to run it on 208, so I purchased a buck boost transformer to convert to 208. The problem is I still has 2 legs that are higher.
I am currently getting T1-T2=209 T1-T3=230 T2-T3=246v. The former owners told me that the phases must be within 2%.
The voltage is good going to the controller, now is doesn't have the quirks it had before, but the spindle will not start up because of an overvoltage.
The question is...what can I do to stabilize the voltage on the high legs?
