Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
Hey John, I have a buck/boost transformer you can have for $250 CAD. Would just need to get it down to you somehow. I have to pick up a blade in Northport WA. later this week, so could possibly send

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
David, The Felder machine/motor is still spec according to the EU grid system (230V), you can see that the motor sticker says it design to work with 230V. The only different is the way the motor is

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
John, I had exactly the same issue with my Profil 45Z shaper. The shaper would run for one time, but then the motor won't spin at all until I turned the machine off and on. The motorized

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
John, if the technician left the electrical box unsealed and you can open it without breaking the seal, open it to see if after the saw fails to start you have a blinking LED on the brake board. If

David Best, I did wipe down the rails, clearing some smudge. I¡¯ve not checked the switch on the slider, but can do that tomorrow. Interesting that you mention the braking circuit. It took the tech

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
David K¨¹mm, in this case misbehaving is failure to respond to the start button. The saw will work a few times (one or two start - stop cycles), then just not respond until the main power is switched

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
That was my first reaction also. I think you¡¯re getting bad input from the Felder technician. Given the readings you have provided regarding the leg-to-leg voltage levels, there should be no reason

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
Something else is wrong here. 230v is an old designation, just as 220 is for even older machines. Any new 3 phase machine sourced to the US will run on either 208 or 240v. 230 is sometimes used to

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
That looks like the correct transformer, if indeed that is what is needed. It seems that my supply is within spec, although just barely. If it was cheap and easy to cut the voltage back by 5% just to

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
Hot leg to ground is a meaningless measurement in this application. Since there is no neutral in the supply to the machine, your electrician should have known that. A properly sized and configured

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
That makes sense, Imran. Even if I changed the manufactured leg, the leg to leg voltage of the two native legs would not change. -- John Hinman Boise ID Kappa 450X and A941

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
Hi John, The top part of the first page appears to describe output voltage calibration. I would only venture there if the output voltage (manufactured leg) was out of specified tolerance. Like others

Re: Adjusting Phase Perfect?
I understand that T1 and T2 pass unaltered, so T1/ground and T2/ground voltages are as supplied by the utility. T3 is manufactured. In my case, my electrician measured T1/ground and T2/ground as 118.5

Re: Mirka DEOS 3x4 vs Surfprep
Good feedback Dan. I'm a big fan of the M12 family, but I do not have the detail sander (yet). I have relied on hand sanding for crown molding and similar profiles. Does the Ekasand with the sanding

Imran is correct that T1 and T2 pass directly through the Phase Perfect unit unaltered. When I had my shop in San Francisco, the voltage was 208. Phase Perfect was able to supply the necessary
