    okuma & howa act-3

    Is anyone running this 15hp lathe on a rotary phase converter? If so, what size/type are you using?

    too complicated in my opinion. Spindle drive and axis drive units - frequency converters - can be powered single phase. Fans, I believe are powered single phase originally. Only coolant pump and hydraulic pump motors must be powered 3P. This is quite simple without expensive complicated unit.
