[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3954112, member: 5412"] You can't run a three phase motor on normal 230 volt household hook up. As was said, you would need a three phase converter to operate it. Some aren't too expensive, using capacitors to change the timing of the sine waves. Others can get pretty expensive. The best thing to do is swap the 3 phase motor out with a single phase motor if possible. Edit: Looking at it further, with the parts swapping you said three techs have done, could incorrect parts have been installed? A lot of folks not involved in industrial three phase do not understand it. Do you have a schematic on the unit or a book that shows a schematic? Possibly list the model number to see if an online schematic is available? You said it was a commercial model that had been refurbished, so we would need to look at the original schematics to know for sure if they have installed bad parts. [/QUOTE]
