    So I found this on Craigslist and picked one of them up

    Sorgel 30 KVA 3 Phase Insulated Transforme

    It's 240V delta parallel to 380V I already have a 40HP 240V RPC so hopefully this will do the trick. I need to have my electrician back out to hook it up.

    Any data on the hydraulic power unit would be really helpful as I am going to have to hunt one down. Make model anything.

    Also can anyone say for sure is it 3 phase delta or wye in to the machine?

    Watch the output voltages on your phase converter. Get it up and running and then worry about the hydraulics. I think I sent you the manual on adjusting the hydraulics with pressures. While a bit of work, I think you could recreate the pump and solenoid valves. You have all the cabling.

    Can you take a good picture of your operator console and email it to me? I would like to see what buttons they have for the hydraulic operations for my machine. Thanks, Marty

    Hey Marty,

    Not enough detail in the picture to see the hydraulic movements/buttons.
    I will try and find the information again on the hydraulics. I thought I emailed you directly. Email me your contact info. martyDOTescarcegaATgmailDOTcom

    Some progress to report on this project. I had my electrician out today to hook up the transformer. It was a bear to figure out how to wire it up since it has so many taps and the wiring diagram was a bit of a head scratcher, even with three of us looking at it, but we finally figured it out. And hey what do you know I got 380V power in the shop now.

    So I powered on the machine side disconnect and turned the machine on/off switch and the control came right up. Which is a result... sort of. The control powers up when I hit NC On but not much happens when I hit AUX On. Hrm....

    Well tomorrow I will get to the back side of it and see what I can make of it.

    If anyone has advice or suggestions I am all ears.

    Well, progess is progress. :-). So did the control completely come on? Any errors on the display? I wonder if the hydraulic system gives any feedback to the control? I take it Emco USA wasn't of much help with documentation? Keep us posted of your progress. Maybe a picture of the video display might help. Someone may know the control.
