Does anyone know how to choose the size of Rotary Phase Converter?
Never heard of that, how come it cannot run a fractional?
The sizing of the RPC depends somewhat on what type of loads you have, i.e. transformer or 3 phase motor?
Any three phase motor is usually considered to aid the RPC.
IOW, if you had purely 3 phase motors as loads, the understanding that I had is that you could supply approximately twice the HP load as the RPC as long as the largest motor was no larger than the RPC itself.
