I bought one of these some time back for a project which never materialised, but am now experimenting with it to drive a 3 phase powered wood turning lathe (ex school hence the 3 ph motor probably connected in star).
I am looking for some input from someone who has used one of these before and done some measurements.
I didn't realise to begin with that it converted 240v single phase to
240v 3 phase and that the motor should be connected in delta format to get full power - I thought it would have been 440V 3 ph and continued to think so as my DVM was registering 600v ph tp ph. I put the 'extra' volts down to DVM anomaly ! Anyhow a bit more reading and then experimenting with an old AVO and a more up to date DVM gave 320v ph to ph.This is a bit nearer 240v but far enough off to puzzle me somewhat - the fact that both the AVO and the modern DVM read the same would suggest that this is a true RMS reading but at some 30% above 240v, that does seem a bit odd, and should I be concerned about it with respect to the winding insulation.
Thanks Rob
