Hello,
I am trying to use an electric heater that is 480V/3phase/30.1 A/25kW but unfortunately I am dealing with a good ol' 120V single phase outlet in my lab. I understand that I could get a three phase unit (lack of a better term) installed but I'd rather purchase equipment that could help me with this task since it will be temporary.
I looked at step up transformers but I don't think those will be able to convert my single phase power to three phase.
I have a general background in EE but I can't seem to put together the pieces to solve this problem. If you could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate any help!
Thanks!!!
