    Torqcut 30 480v can it be run on 230v? and could it run on single phase?

    As the title says,I saw a Torqcut 30 that is running on 480v. Could it run on 230v with just changing jumper settings?

    The machine looks to be in ok condition but I couldn't run the drives as there was no air at the time.

    I read in one of the other posts where someone said it might run on single phase, Is this true? I currently run other vmc's on a phase converter but I know everyone says that is a no-no with the bridgeports.

    It would be a win for me if I could run this Torqcut in my shop on 220v Single phase and NOT have to run the dammed 20hp phase converter!

    Thank you for any replies,
    Eric

    Check on the Transformers, most have more than one voltage they can run on, you will also have to check the Voltage of the VFD if it is for 480v then it would have to be changed to the 240v VFD
