Along those lines, anything related to passenger elevators generally must be tested and rated for elevator use, there are specific UL certifications and requirements to consider.that's a question that should be asked of the elevator mfgs. I have 0 elevator experience, but do know that elevator motors are high torque, maybe a phase convertor won't work.
Existing is 400 amp, 120/240V, 1 phase, 3 wire service for a Metra train station in Chicago.
Adding an elevator which requires 3 phase power. Is it safe to use a phase converter in this application? Any problems you may encounter?
