I am getting closer to getting things going. I started looking for a 5hp idler motor. I have ended up with a 7.5hp instead. Found a new Marathon 208-230/460V for $125.
My specific question is this; considering I am using an RPC to power a 40's Southbend 16", and a 50's Logan 12", how important is it to have the RPC tuned? I'm trying to get an idea of is it better to buy a box, or build my own. I have no issues building, just wondering where the break over is in terms of money saved verses time to wire it all up. I really don't have the test equipment to properly tune between legs.
If as a practical matter the older equipment I am using is mostly unaffected by the legs being 'untuned' to each other, then building is definitely in order. On the other hand if it will make a somewhat significant difference, I would buy a panel ready built and 'pre-tuned'.
Open for suggestions and thoughts. Thanks
