I just purchased a MyData SMT machine that requires 3 phase 208V. I have 240 single phase with a 3 phase power converter that outputs 240V 3 phase. Should I be concerned about the differences in voltages and if so how should I solve this issue.

The power outside your building will certainly be 3 phase. The power to your building will almost certainly be 3 phase. Why not simply get a transformer and have 3 phase power available for the machine? It will probably be a much better option than l

one caveat to be aware of is the power requirements of many machines. Most 'industrial level' pick and place machines, as well as reflow ovens will require 3 phase power. it sounds like you are trying to set this up in an office type environment. Do

This is a long shot, but can anybody advise on the supplies for a BTU oven. It is currently in the UK and is supplied by a 415V 4 wire. That is 3 phases and a neutral. We need to ship it to our plant in Mexico where they have a 480V 3 wire supply.

1. Why isn't an electrician doing this? 2. Did you measure phase-to-phase voltage between each phase at the machine? 3. Phase rotation only affects the 3-phase motors. If it's out of sequence, the motors will spin backwards but everything else sho

Hi Dilbert, it is a step up transformer from 3 phase 208 to 3 phase 380. Each machine does not draw more than 3 Amps per phase. However, circuit breakers are rated at 15 Amps. The transformer has three power outlets, each one has a Perilex (European)

This will be in the basement of my home, in the US. I can assure you we do not have 3 phase "outside our building". We do have 7200 V 3 phase a block away, but that would require adding a block of 7200 V feeder and a transformer bank, the power com

I too would advise against converting a 3-phase machine to single phase. Eclipse is a single phase machine and not too difficult to find! It's a rugged machine and people still use them. Orion too is single phase but faster and less accurate than an

I would stay clear of this machine, had one and after a few years of use gave a lot of electrical problems, they are no longer supported by electrovert for electrical spares. Ours was a dual wave with HAK, 3 phase 380 volt.
