Comments on: Having Single Phase Converted To Three Phase Electric – Which Is The Best Way To Achieve This? http://www.cncfuture.com/having-single-phase-converted-to-three-phase-electric-which-is-the-best-way-to-achieve-this/ CNC News on the Future of CNC Sat, 31 Jul 2010 05:34:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Roy S http://www.cncfuture.com/having-single-phase-converted-to-three-phase-electric-which-is-the-best-way-to-achieve-this/comment-page-1/#comment-1237 Roy S Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:28:02 +0000 http://www.cncfuture.com/having-single-phase-converted-to-three-phase-electric-which-is-the-best-way-to-achieve-this/#comment-1237 When I last looked on line, all electric is fed as 3 phase down the supply cables, the distribution box is what turns 3 phase into single phase so if you call your electric supplier and ask them for a 3 phase supply, they may try bull sh*tting you about having no 3 phase supply in the area and need of a line to be put in and quote you a couple of grand, so get on the search engines and do some research and ask around the area until you find someone who is on 3 phase so you can then judge for yourself. 3 phase is simply a single phase that has been stepped by 1/3rd of a cycle . See examples below.

Get a price on the new service and internal wiring. Check the horsepower of your motor and get a price on wiring in a converter. Check the price of replacing the motor with a single phase motor.

Check the price of replacing the motor with a single phase motor.

You should be able to run a 5 HP motor from a single phase. Look on the plate on you existing motor for HP and revolutions/minute.

You will need to look at the rating plate of the pump motor which should have it's horse power stated on it. If the rating on the pump motor is in kW, have a look herehttp://www.isomatic.co.uk/BoosterPriceLi… for equivalent ratings or 1HP = 745.7 watts Hope this helps ;-) The HP stands for Horse Power.

You have 2 phase 220 volts available. The converter is your only bet. You just determine the HP of your motor. It might be easier to replace the motor you are using with a 220V one.
