I bought a 19" LeBlond servo shift lathe in CA. Drug it home 1,000 miles and 3 flat tires later it was at my shop. (small shop here on my ranch)
No three phase power here so I bought a Phase Perfect phase converter that turns my single phase to 3 phase, and I can run multiple motors off of it! It makes 230v ac 3ph power. Now the problem, My lathe is set up for 460v. My main drive motor can be wired for 460 or 230. I rewired the 10 hp motor to 230v.
The lathe won't turn on. I have never used a servo shift so I'm at a loss here. Maybe all that electric stuff in the panel won't work on 230v ?
My 15" LeBlond, not servo, runs just fine and so does my 3ph compressor, so I know the phase converter is working.
Help help help me get this 19" monster lathe running.
