Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] phase converter

Joe, It is quite simple. Connect your 240VAC across two of the motor
windings. Connect the 3ph load circuit across those two windings and
the third leg. With the 3ph load switched off and the 240 1ph on, pull
the shaft cord to start (which ever direction suits you) then switch
on the 3ph load. Once you get that going we can tell you how to add a
dirt simple self start circuit. Much safer. Rich Dean
