I am def bent on using this machine it is bought , payed for and was moved into my shop yesterday.
The hyd pump is 3/4 hp 3 phase and seems to run fine on a static converter, the blower motor on the spindle motor is 2 hp 3 phase. Other than the drive for the spindle motor everything else can run just fine single phase 230v which brings us back full circle to the original project of how to go about turning the spindle with my avail single phase 240 v 400 amp service. The spindle motor drive is the only thing I am unsure about operating at 230 v, I have no problem springing for a larger than neccesary RPC if thats the best way to go , do you think this GE drive and spindle combination will be able to operate at 240v 3 phase?
