As usual my new to me Harrison L6 has a 415 volt electric motor and suds pump, I could convert to 240 Volt 1PH main/suds motor units, but at some time in the future I hope to purchase a mill which will also probably be 415 volt due to its age.
I could possibly convert the L6's main motor to 240 Volt 3PH and fit a cheap VFD converter but I would have to convert to 240 volt 3PH and buy another VFD for the mill, or 2 expensive 415 Volt VFD again due to settings of the units for different motors.
I'm thinking that if I buy a Transwave Converter I could use use one converter for both machines by simply pluging in machine when needed
I would like more information on Transwave Converters Static and the Rotary types as these now appear to be "Old Hat" technology, I'm not worried about over speeding the motors.
What are the "Pro and Cons" of each type and any major problems involved with running the 2 motors at once from them???
I look forward to your advice/experience...
