Hi, thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
I have been asked to install a 22kw transwave phase converter. I have been told it needs a 120a single phase supply and it can run a 3 phase board supplying various 3 phase machines.
I phoned and asked what the size of cable would be needed for the outgoing 3 phase supply from the converter to the 3 phase board. All I was told was that the outgoing cable from the converter to the 3 phase board depended on the maximum load it would be supplying as there is no overloed protection in the converter.
However the converter comes with a 32a 5 pin commando socket attached.
As I haven't fitted one before I just wondered if anybody could give any advice?
I was told the machine would probably be ok on an 80a type c breaker for the supply and 25mm tails. I also asked if disconnection times would be met because I wasn't sure how converter would affect zs values. Again all I was told was that I was only responsible for single phase supply not the outgoing!
Can anyone explain in layman's terms how these converters generate 3 phase from single phase.
Thanks again.
