First you may want a transformer to boost your voltage up to the 400 Volts that the motor wants. Then let's talk about a digital inverter. We gener...

A Rotary Phase Converter (RPC) is a 3 phase motor driven by a single phase motor, or a 3 phase motor STARTED by a single phase source using capacit...

jraef, On the nameplate. I'd go with the transformer to step up the supply voltage, then a use 400V in, 400V out inverter. You'll probably pick a u...

jraef, the motor voltage rating, the way I read it on the nameplate, is 400v/50hz or 480v/60hz. But I am assuming you can see the picture of the mo...

400 Volt delta at 50 Hz on the nameplate pictured. If it was 400 Volt star, we could go 230 Volt delta, but the 400 V delta leaves us with needing...

Quote: But I don't see where you ever actually STATED the motor nameplate voltage rating. What is it? Further, the OP is stating that the inverter...

The kit that is £400 more is -- and apologies if I misspoke earlier -- a DIGITAL PHASE CONVERTER. Drives Direct in the UK is the manufacturer I'm s...

Oh, I did talk to a manufacturer in the U.S. (because it was after hours here) and he recommended phase converting 230v 1ph to 230v 3ph and then tr...

Hi Keith. 400 Volt delta will be 690 Volts star. No help there. I'm looking at a motor rating of 5.5 kW. With about 80% overall efficiency that wil...

Crazy. 3 posts in before I finished mine. Now I look like I just piled-on to poor Jeff. LOL Expat: I hate to tell you this but I think you're... nu...
