[QUOTE="tyromeo55, post: 3590073, member: 1719"] DH I know, you know what your talking about. Just adding for the home gamers. Hopefully anyone who would go out and buy something like a static phase converter would do a little research first. Sadly they probably wouldn't. Loosing a phase in a large facility is an odd monkey. Typically it is thought of as a huge NO NO and for good reason. In practice a 3 phase motor will run on single phase and all the other motors running in the complex can act as idlers. Fan units and AHU's don't typically fare well because of the way they are loaded and sized. Its great you were able to track down that problem. Id be scratching my head hard looking for a problem on a large resistive load like that. Static converters in a home you need to be kinda picky. We used one for years growing up on a commercial clothes dryer we had (6 kids go thru a lot of laundry) it worked for decades and is still going strong today. The best thing it has going for it is that the startup load is not super high, the motor is additionally fan cooled, once started the load was fairly constant and it had a respectable amount of rotational stored energy. I don't think I would use one on a fan, pump, or machine equipment. [/QUOTE]
