Update -?
?
We were ready to pull the trigger on a Phase perfect and encountered an objection I was not expecting.? The hissing / buzzing sound coming from the unit is very objectionable to my wife's ears.? She's got hearing good enough to hear a fly fart, so I suspect from any room (and our workshop and home are connected) she would hear the buzzing.? The specific sound range is nail-on-a-chalkboard grating to her.? ?I checked with PP about the sound dampening kit, and they could off "no guarantees" it would solve my issue.??
?
That was a long-winded way of saying we are back to the rotary phase converter option.? I'm pretty concerned about the power quality and effects of that on this Felder machine.? I'd appreciate input from the group on the safest way to proceed.? ?I have an unused 30HP idler motor available.? Here are the top three options under consideration -?
?
- North America Phase Converter CP-30 ()
- American Rotary AD30 STK ()
- American Rotary ADX30 ()
?
Naturally I'd like to make use of the existing idler motor available to me.? ?AR is telling me that the ADX is the right one, but that requires a specially manufactured idler supplied only by them.? As this is a new area for me, Im struggling to understand what is marketing hype and what is good science.? All three options support the inrush current as measured by Imran for this machine.? All three produce more HP/amps than I need (with some to spare).? Are there other factors I should be considering???

Thank you all,
