    Where does the "wild leg" go???

    I recently got a CNC mill (Dyna Myte 4400). It cam with a rotary phase converter. It is an "anderson converters" 10 hp not their CNC version. The converter outputs 110 / 110 / 220 (two 110 legs and 1 220 leg).

    What is the difference between a CNC phase converter and a non CNC converter?

    Would a CNC converter have all three legs at 110v?

    Could I use this converter with this machine?

    If so how do I tell which lug to hook the "wild leg" to?

    What are the chances the previous owner toasted this machine using this converter?

    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Are you sure it is not 220 input, if you mean by 110/110 means you are referencing to neutral, that is not used in a phase convertor.
    I have never heard of or seen a 110/110/240v 3 phase??

    110 / 110 in 110/110/220 out. This is referencing ground. Open leg delta, high leg, wild leg, are some terms that I am researching tonight.
