I am thinking about going with a rotary phase converter for the two small motors on the lathe. I am not sure though if my 208 V motors can handle 220-240 volt power. I need to check my power source but it will be at least 220 I am guessing. Maybe I need to use an inverter with variable output power if that exists?</div><div>Hank</div></div></div></div></html></div><html><div class="yqt3194036440" id="yqt71010"><body>_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a shape="rect" href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"></body></div></html></div></div></div></div></body></html>
