Hello all,
I recently bought a rather large lathe with a 10hp motor on it. It is a 575v 3 phase motor that I will have to replace with a 10hp, 220v 3 phase motor.
I presently have both, a 5hp RPC and a 10hp RPC. Both work very well. I think that a 15hp RPC would run this lathe, as it has a clutch.
My question is, can I utilize my present 10hp RPC, along with the 5hp pony motor to achieve a 15hp rating, without actually purchasing a new 15hp RPC control box, as well as a 15hp Pony motor?
