Re: Matsuura on Low Power Supply
Chris, you're correct, you have to start with the available power. That really sounds like too much machine for a residential service. The spindle HP is the controlling factor, and the RPC need to be sized to run the spindle. I have 100 amps, 240V, single phase available to my shop. So I limited the mill spindle HP to 7.5 running on single phase, and the lathe to 10 HP running on a 15HP RPC. You have to have enough power left over to run lighting, air compressor and other stuff.
