Three-Phase Conversion -
The Workshop Practice
Series A practical guide
to running three-phase
equipment on single-phase
electricity supplies.
Often, model engineers
buy industrial workshop
equipment, such as
lathes, drilling
machines and milling
machines which usually
require a three-phase
electricity supply.
Although ready-built
phase converters are
available, they can
often cost as much or
even more than the
equipment purchased. This
book provides an
invaluable source of
practical guidance on how
anyone can find out the
type of electrical
equipment they have, and
how to convert it to
allow it to run on a
single-phase supply.The
book provides exact
calculations,
step-by-step instructions
with photographs and
diagrams and covers
electricity supplies in
the UK, North America,
Europe and the rest of
the world. Finally, it
also advises on which
equipment cannot be
converted at all.Graham
Astbury is a Chartered
Engineer, who has
recently retired after a
career providing expert
advice on process safety
in the chemical industry
