How does that work, then?
Motor, generator and a 5:6 ratio gearbox? 1500rpm in, 1800rpm out, sort
of thing?

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience using motor-generator
phase converters to produce 3 phase power from single
phase power for running big iron? (e.g. IBM mainframe
equipment). They seem reasonably priced -- about $1 per
peak KW, at least on sale: http://www.phaseconverter.com
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has actual
real experience with or knowledge about this.
Thanks
Brian
We used to do it at work to run a 60Hz machine of a 50Hz supply, though it
was 3 phase in and out.
Jim.
