Keep in mind you will only get about 2/3 of the input power on the output as some losses are acrewed to spin the converter. Also 208 volt motors will run on 220 just a bit faster than on 208.</div><div><br></div><div>There are solidstate converters out there, no rotating parts and more power .

I am thinking about going with a rotary phase converter for the two small motors on the lathe. I am not sure though if my 208 V motors can handle 220-240 volt power. I need to check my power source but it will be at least 220 I am guessing. Maybe I need to use an inverter with variable output power if that exists?</div><div>Hank</div></div></body></html>
