Which phase converter for hammer k3 table saw

Postby Mbcarpentry » Sat Feb 13, 2016 10:51 am

Hi all I have picked up Hammer k3 winner table saw for a bargain price but it is 3 phase and I only have single phase power in my workshop, I am going to buy a phase converter to run the saw but wondered if a static converter would work or would I need a rotary converter?
Thanks
Mark

What about a VFD ?
Did you look for inverters on ebay ..
just make sure their single phase IN ... most are not
Two inverters which im now ..lookin at the moment are the
invertec optidrive @ £210 and a cheaper Teco L510 @ £204 +postage costs
Sold in the UK although these drives are rated for 2.2kw (3hp) motors ..
not sure what size motor is in the winner .
Look up Bob Minchins aka ninefngers induction motor write-up
Good luck

Emailed Bob and he's sorting me out with a modified inverter job done. Thanks for the help on this
