I picked up a hardinge conquest 42 with a 10hp (7.5kw) spindle. Looks like it requires about 60 amps for 115% full load. The guy I got it from said he ran it off a 50 amp breaker and it ran fine.
Probably picking up a 30hp motor tomorrow. Anything specific I should be looking for when I get the motor? The plate on the motor said it requires 78 amps. Will this also be the case if I'm just using it as an idler?
I guess my first question is how do I calculate a rough estimate for how many and how big capacitors I should get.
