The PhasePerfect units are unfortunately the most expensive option.
Yeah tell me about it. I looked them up. Can I borrow your checkbook?Got the stuff home today. As soon as I figure out where to start cleaning and get them clean, I'll post pics. I found rigging instructions in the manual to get the lathe off the pallet, but where in the hell to I lift the mill? When we got the the Bridgeport at work, we lifted it by the head. Well, not the head, but real close to the column and trammed the head out to balance it. I'm not sure I like doing that to my stuff. Is there a better way?
Speaking of leg variances, the rotaries we have at the one shop put out around 120 from 2 of the legs to ground and the third is up around 245. Going leg to leg all have the same reading though. I hate those fricking things and can't wait till we move to a building with real power like the other shop.
Only reason I spent the coin was due to the near perfect leg to leg voltages. On all the cnc sites I was frequenting most electronics issues are caused by too much leg to leg variances. The PP units are +- 1% compared to around +-5% for rotaries.
For your equipment, I would have spent the money too. You're in a whole nother budget ballpark though. Jay says the RPC has to be so much bigger for the inrush, but when running should be drawing anywhere from 15-25 amps. Website says at idle it will only cost 2 cent's an hour to leave running. That was figured at a higher rate than what I pay. I can live with that.Now if I could just get these things positioned...... First place I set the mill took up too much space. I think that thing is going in the corner.
