Hi, i have a 50kW AC induction motor, which takes 150A at startup. I thought of using a 3Phase generator to start the motor, and after a little while, when the motor has gained the speed and current dropped to about 60A, change the power source to AC mains. When i change the power source, i can quickly turn off the motor start contactor and do the power source change using a mechanical switch, and then turn on the motor start contactor.
So, i would really appreciate if someone could let advise me on a suitable 3 phase mechanical switch which has two (selectable) 3phase inputs
Off position of the breaker/switch is the generator supply and the ON position will be the AC mains.
Thanks in Advance
