Hey all, I just finished making a RPC out of a 1.5hp Baldor motor to power my Bridgeport.
Nothing fancy, 220 1 phase to a disconnect, then from the disconnect to the motor. Then three legs from the motor to the outlet.
No start or run capacitors at the moment.
Runs great, but here's the weird: it starts up on its own! Everything I've read and watched says I'd need either another single phase motor to spin the three phase up or a start capacitor and switch to momentarily power the third leg...
