    Phase Converter 15 HP CNC Softstart

    Hi! I am looking to sell my Rotary Phase Converter. It is in like-new condition; only ran a few times. See attached pics. I was looking for $500-1000 price range. This is an awesome find for anyone needing a medium size rotary phase converter for CNC or other.

    I looked on American Rotary's web site but didn't see that model. How large of a motor will it start?

    I'm not sure but it's rated at 15HP so I assume close to 15HP.

    Re: Phase Converter 15 HP CNC Softstart

    They usually start a motor that is about half the idler. I just bought a Mazak QT-8 CNC lathe and it came with an American Rotary AD10. It will run the lathe, but just barely. Rapids or higher spindle speeds will alarm out due to voltage drop. Do you have a manual for yours?

    I think. Let me check the back of the front panel.

    This one is pretty good. It's made for cnc so the output can be closer to the idler. The panel says max. of 3-phase 42 amps. out and when converted to hp at 230V that is a 15hp motor.

    Re: Phase Converter 15 HP CNC Softstart

    Turns out I don't need it, thanks anyway. I just bought a 10 HP motor so I can double my existing 10 HP RPC by adding some run caps.
    Good luck selling it.
