dual voltage motor solution - 11/03/07 10:25 PM
Hello,
Wonder if anyone has any good suggestions? I want to find a motor for one of our machines that will work worldwide. I.e. be suitable for the American and European voltages (110VAC/230vAc). Motor power is 1/3HP(250W) approx. Driving an augur screw, material conveying. I know you can get dual voltage single phase AC motors. Is there any other solution, perhaps using a 3ph motor and some drive/converter that could cope with single phase 110 or 230vac?
All suggestions welcome,
Michael.
