Thanks for doing a back up video from your first build. I am hoping I can learn from these. I am building a 10hp rotary now for a lathe. The idle motor I bought did not have a diagram so still doing research on it to figure out how to wire it.

Chris, thank you for making the original & this follow up video to what seems like a simple design. I struggled to follow S-Bird Ranch's build. Mine ran for 8-10 cycles, then tripped the breaker every time. It has a whole bunch of capacitors and I don't know what all components. Of course, he doesn't answer questions, so I'm left with machines I cannot run. I'll give your simple design a shot...fingers crossed!

Mine does the same thing. (The "backfeeding" ) It's a 2 pole idler, and when you shut it off and it slows down enough, the potential relay goes into its normally closed state and reconnects the start capacitor causing the idler to slow down very quickly. I dont think that really harms anything, so I never really worried about it. If anything it will shunt the charge in the start capacitors through the windings and discharge them without needing a bleed resistor.

Im using a square d magnetic starter. Im making a rotary phase converter using you're designs, thanks so much for this informative video. Anyway, how should i wire this? Hopefully this gets to you

Both videos are great and very helpful as I have a 10hp motor I want to use to make one. I do have a question. On some other videos I've watched people also use run capacitors to even up the voltage per leg. Have you had any issues without them?

No I haven't but its probably a little better in the long run to balance the legs. I just haven't done it yet.

what type of motor are you using Chris...can the power output be increased by using a larger capacity motor on the rotary rig?

HI CHRIS, HOW CAN I CONVERT FOR A 10 HP COMPRESSOR

gonna need twice as big a motor for the phase convertor. So 20hp. a 10hp convertor can run a 10hp compressor but it cant start it. So that's the idea - 20hp.

Are you not using run capacitors?

No, I am just using start capacitors, to get it spining. If you wanted to balance the voltages out a little you could use a couple of run capacitors for that.
