I have read all there is to find about the Miller System (via its author on this site but none of the questions and answers answer this question directly. I have used the Miller system successfully on a few 3 phase motors mostly used in the lumber mills. However, I was asked if this would be done and the answer (my answer) was I don't know but will find out.
Using single phase, I have a 'planning mill' that has 5 x 10HP motors 240 Volts 3 phase of which at least any three are running at one time. In some cases, all five are running. I would assume that under the Miller System, a board (set of capacitors set to the Miller System specs) could be set up for each individual motor. These could theoretically be set up so at least three of the motors start in consecutive order with the other two motors being turned on as needed individually.
Is this something that con be accomplished with the Miller system or would I need to install a two motor rotary system which I really don't want to do.
Thanks for any info.
