Hi there,
My shop is about to move to a new location with only single phase power.
Our ShopBot PRS Alpha with a 5HP Colombo spindle and a 16.9HP Republic blower/vacuum requires 3 phase power, though. We'd obviously need a rotary phase converter.
Questions:
- Any specific recommendations?
- Should I get a cheaper 20HP phase converter for the blower/vacuum and a high-end 5HP converter for the spindle or is it better to one bigger high-end for both?
I've looked at several models at
Precision Electric
https://www.precision-elec.com/product-category/phase-converters/rotary-phase-converters/
as well as
American Rotary

Thank you for your help in advance!
