[TheForge] that tired old phase converter question again

Tue Jun 25 07:58:00 2002

        Steve, So your saying you just put this idler motor between the
static unit and the load you are trying to supply??   Just curious as I have
two of those static units and don't really hvae a need for them.   Wondering
if this would improve the efficiency of them as I used a static on a chain
falls once, and it would heat the motor to the point I stopped using it for
fear of destroying a nice electric chain falls.
        Nice to meet you in Wisconsin, let me know when your heading east
some time, or if you move.
