keithm Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 It does depend on what machine you are running as I would recomend different converters for different machines. Some are better combinations. For example, running a Power Unit on a static converter is something I would not advise, although it has been done Also, it depends on your budget, Rotary are more expensive, but ultimately more reliable in our experience Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Am92 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hi keith, I'm using a hardo finisher,the markings on the plate show 3.75kw,50hz,380v. at the moment i'm using a rotary but as its over 8 years old and starting to get noisey i was thikinking of the inverters as a much quieter option.

petercoulson Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 personally i would go with an invertor now, much smaller, quieter and more reliable. but be careful, you must get one that doesnt need you to change all your motors from star to delta (if you are confused already wait till you try doing it). and if the hardo has a nuetral for a single phase supply (not sure on your model, if it has 4 wires from supply then no 5 wires then yes) you may need some extra wiring to be done but it is all worth the hassle in the end.

Yes, the Doctor snaps the key for his Tardis on the planet Zonk and Tel200 travels through time to save him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironplanet uk900 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I wouldn't have thought that old tardis would have had a Transponder key, So for this reason I'm inclined to disbelieve that post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
