Re: Bridgeport R2E3 again!

The Boss 8 machine needs 3 phase power. A static converter
will not work because many of the loads inside the machine are
not motors, but rather power supplies making DC for the
various control systems. It will run reasonably well on
a rotary converter that is tuned properly. The "manufactured"
leg of your 3 phase should be connected to L1 at the machine
because the power supplies running most of the critical
electronics are connected across L2 and L3 in the standard
configuration.

static transwave phase converter that I use for my lathe, but when I
connect the milling machine the boss 8 controller displays error 4000
after is post checks. Can anyone shine some light on this, or does
anyone have any wiring diagrams for this machine. If I manually push
in the main contactor I can get the machine to home correctly. I
have a feeling that the problems are down to the phase converter and
wondered if moving to a rotary converter would be better. I cannot
install 3 phase electric as the nearest supply to may house is a fair
way down the road
