I bought a transformer to run my 440v lathe. The transformer is an Acme T-3-53311-1s, 15kva. Thats what the Acme tech suggested. Now I need to come up with 41 amps from my RPC to run the transformer. My current RPC is a 3hp, 3ph motor powered by 220 1ph. It only puts out about 8amps. I'm sure I can come up with a bigger motor for the RPC but I don't know what size to get. Is there a way to up the amps whitout changing RPC motor size.
Any help here would be appreciated.
