So what did you buy today

[Guido Salvage]

Had two of those in red. One with a dump one without. I think the clutch went out of the last one will still had. They were good ol trucks

He had two red ones, one a ‘72 with the flip hood and a cattle body and a ‘74 his dad used to haul lumber at his sawmills. They were both 304 engines and the cattle truck did not have power steering.

how much does this phase converter cost? to what engine power?

$180 + shipping. Up to 1hp. Above 1hp they get more expensive. If you’re running a lot of heavy tools it makes sense to buy a rotary phase converter but I don’t have room for more
big tools. Rotary’s can supply a lot of power.

1hp seems low, but I had a 5hp single phase motor on my lathe previously. This one has more cutting ability.

and what is the voltage of your 3-phase motor? we in Europe have different tensions

 

[Ketchup]

I have extremely limited electrical experience. Many people here could answer better.

But as I understand, everything in US is 120v or 240v single phase (though most everything draws either 110v or 220v). 3 phase is theoretically 440v but usually only 415v available. 415v is the voltage on my motors. One is a Baldor and one is a Leeson. Both 1hp.

I believe Europe is mostly 220/240, which is what most phase converters are drawing and converting.

KB Drives is a legit company. You can email them with questions and they can help you with your specific application.

we have 3x380v here

Your household electricity is 380v?

@Guido Salvage the other day while we were dropping off scrap a guy drug a nice old intl water truck in :-( I could never work at a scrap yard.


Filter from @slackinoff (your top is on its way) and park brake shoes for deucey do. Can’t wait to get my other one with drop sides going for loading with forklift.

I had one of those at one point when I did RAGBRAI but my wife loaned it to someone & I haven’t seen it since. That was several years ago.

In the socket we measure voltage 220 V between phase and ground.
Some machines (big circular saw, induction hob, ...) need all 3 phases (5-pin socket), which means 380 V between phases.
In Europe most countries use either 220/380 or 230/400 V.

Got a set of clad (3-layer: stainless/aluminum/stainless) cookware today at Goodwill for under $30. It pays to visit their locations in the nicer neighborhoods.

Be very careful with rough roads with that type of rack, but any hitch rack is superior to the webbing attached ones! And it lets you get after it.
