    Cool Motor Direction

    When setting up a Rotary Converter, what impact will I have in the direction the 220 Rotary convertor motor is turning to the phase input to the Machine motor. Will it matter?

    The direction of the RPC will depend on what leg you have the start capacitor on, if you are using one.
    Otherwise, unless you have some 3 ph, direction dependant motors for e.g. then it will not matter.
    If inputing to drives and transformers it does not matter.
    The only thing to watch for is to make sure any 1 ph loads are on the 2 main 1 ph legs.
