We have a small shop where there is no dedicated 3 phase power available. Our 3 phase power is generated from two RPC's. One is a homwmade with a 20hp idler and the other I think is a 10hp from a local electrical shop. The 20hp is dedicated to our Haas SL 2 and the 10hp runs an EZ Trak and another Bridgeport. Everything is 220v 3 phase. The problem we have is when the Haas spindle is accelerating and the air compressor kicks on it will give an error to the effect that there is a loss of power on one or more of the legs and the machine will shut down. The compressor is 220v single phase BTW. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this? I also get over voltage errors on the Haas, also. Usually when the rapid is at 100% and it has been running a while. It seems if I turn the rapid down to 50% it won't happen as often. Let me know if I should post in the Haas forum, too. Thanks.
