I have a friend who purchased a 3 phase Heat Press Machine not knowing all they had was single phase. The unit is pretty big. The spec on the side says 30 amp/ 7000w/60 hz/220 (3phase). I would say the unit top is about a 3x3.
I have read in the forum that the machine could work by hooking the elements in parallel. I see two rather big wires going into the top half which I assume goes to the heating elements. I don't know how many elements there are. I have not looked inside.
If this did work could we just find the ends of the element wires at the terminal box and hook them in parallel there?
Has anyone had any experience trying this?
Thanks
