    1998 Mits FX10K start up with rotary phase converter

    I bought a 1998 Mits FX10K from a company. I watched it run at the company. I have it all hooked up- thanks to another member!!!! and I need to run it off a phase converter. I have the converter- 10hp rotary,and the machine ready to wire. I have a concern about the legs of voltage. 2 are 110 and the manufactured leg is higher do I need to get something to equal out these legs before I power up? Some help on the way the wires need to connect to the machine would be a plus, which leg where.

    You just have to make sure that the two 110v legs are the ones that engage the solenoids. They are usually #1 and #3, but check. The important measurement after that is the voltage between legs, not legs to ground. The manufactured or wild leg will always be higher.

    Was the 10HP RPC adequate for your Mits FX10? Does it power your chiller through the FX10 wiring or is chiller on a separate circuit?
    What make & model of RPC did you use?
    Many thanks!
