Power Supply Options for a 3 Phase Motor
Electrical Question: I have a German woodworking machine that is powered by a 380 V 3 phase motor rated at 3KW 50 HZ 6.3 Amps. I have been making inquiries as to how to power this motor from a 240 V single phase supply, and I would welcome any advice on the options that I believe I have.

I know just enough about this subject to be dangerous. I will be using a qualified electrician. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you for taking the time.

This electrical wiring question came from Martin, in Upperville, Virginia.
