petercoulson Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Do you mean 3phase with a 1ph convertor or all the motors were changed? the overloads on switches will be 3ph lower ampage. How do the motors restart, do you have to wait a while and press again or just press the start button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubinshazi Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Just press the start button and everything starts fine. Its a convertor. Switched off the main switch for about 15 minutes. Than started all motors and everything was ok for 15 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 It sounds like the overloads are doing their job protecting the motors. You will need to check the output of the convertor as it sounds like the wrong amount of 3ph is getting through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
