I want to thank you very much for the schematic, that's very helpful.
But I hate to say that the rest of your post is rather a joke to me. For instance, I haven't and don't need to ask "what a delta is".
Master electrician is parenthisized because I find it humorous.
And you would scrap $100,000 of equipment because you're incapable of providing 40 silly amps of three phase. thanks for the advice.
And three phase is right out side.
Sorry I took it as a snarky criticism of your boss..... Thanks for the PM....
Any $100K for the equipment could also easily be $100K for the poco to set re-sized transformers depending on the load already on it. Mention of swapping a motor an option? Most equipment only would need 3 phase for motors in them - and the control circuit only from one/two legs (depending on voltage). From the comfort of my chair here - that always seems the least costly, and often for people who just go out and ignorantly (unknowingly) buy equipment they don't have the service for - one of the few options left for them. i.e. Rather than a rotary converter - a motor/generator in a sense - go buy an equal Hp motor with the same mount as the OME. Viola.... No more need for 3 phase. And often in the thousands rather than 10's of thousands.
