help me wire in my cnc mill - super green -

[bcdracing]

here is what i have in my shop:
240v
20a small cnc mill 3 phase using a phase converter
50a arc welder

110v
16a drill press
15a cutoff saw
10a minilathe
7.5a bandsaw
3x5a 15a small tools
5a small aircomp

ok, at my pole is a 75a breaker. think i have 100a service?

house stuff:
240v
4a ?dryer its what is says?
23a AC it has a 40a breaker

from my house to the shop i have 2 #8 and a smaller ground on a 30a
breaker. i was poping a 15a with just my welder so i went to 30a.

what i am looking for is do i have a enough at the pole to run
my 10hp rotary phase converter or should i use a variable frequency drive.
they are more efiecent? require less power?

o complete green question. if somthng is rated like say my arc welder at 50a
that is its max operation? granted i am not going to need to be running all the stuff in the shop at one time.




thanks, :head spinning:

Off the bat, I would say you are pushing it with a 100amp service, (make sure you are not cooking the roast when you are welding).
I guess you had to change the 15amp welder breaker!!.
If all you have on three phase is the mill spindle, then I would go with a VFD, plus you get to have a variable speed spindle, I see you have a Fanuc control so do you already have a spindle controller?
What do you mean by 'a smaller ground on a 30a breaker'?

from my house to the shop i have 2 #8 and a smaller ground on a 30a breaker. i was poping a 15a with just my welder so i went to 30a.

i have 3 wires going to my shop that used to be for a well house pump.

2 x 8g and a smaller g for the ground.

i had the energy co come out and they said to get to par would be 1500
for 3 phase ran to my pole. more from there.

think if my pole breakers are 75a i have 100a service? how can i check?

will 8g from my house to my shop handle my a vfd? does a vfd use less amps
to power my 4hp mill? do you double rate like a rpc because it ineficient?

thanks for your help.
