Any electrical engineers out there 110/220/440 ?

If you want to help with a simple easy project, hit me up. I believe I have everything I need but stuck on one ‘proper’ component name, and wiring it.
This “help” is probably two emails or one phone call.
Thank you

BUMP ! NO ONE ???? lol

I think there are plenty of electrical engineers willing to help (I'm an EE turned programmer), but anytime I've offered to help someone that wanted an EE, what they really wanted was a repair technician familiar with a specific product, or a residential electrician, or someone who knows wire color codes for a specific vehicle. Even if an EE is desired, an EE working in electrical machinery is a completely different animal from an EE working in digital electronics design.
I suggest you state your problem here and see who has the requisite experience.

Good point !

Im rewiring old industrial equipment with 220 /VFD/ 3 phase. I think I have everything laid out. Just want to pick someones brain for a minute...

I totally understand your POV. Ive been there "helping" folks a million times...

Thank you

The closest I've gotten to 3 phase power (since an electrical machinery course forty something years ago) was looking into using a 3 phase motor on my lathe with a VFD converter to run it from single phase 220. There are plenty of web pages dealing with that. A guy on this page seems to have a good grasp on that subject: https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/converter-recommendations-for-2-speed-3hp-3-phase-lathe-motor.81858/

I like that site a lot !

so are you trying to add a 3 phase component to your residential power?

I have much experience with all voltages 3 phase power and control. Also have installed dozens of VFDs, many for smaller motors where I could use 120V or 230V single phase to run a 230V 3 phase motor. I have 3 machines in my workshop with 3 phase motors running on single phase supply.

What's your project(s)?

Absolutely fantastic. Can you PM me. Probably best to start off with a short phone conversation.
Really appreciate it. Thank you.
