I tried rolling the phases around with no luck yet. However the 24v transformer running off of 1 line of 120v has helped. Though the controls are not reading the ice cream consistency very well yet. So I am going to suggest to the customer to invest in a VFD to get a more balanced 3phase for the beater motor alone.
The icecream mixture at the start is very fluid and it is only up to 14 liters of mixture. Near the end it gets a bit more firm but not more firm than soft serve icecream. So I don't see the motor needing to have too much more oomph to get going.
any input would be great as I don't have too much experience with VFD sizing.
The beater motor is a leeson 3phase 3hp motor with the following details
2.24KW
1760RPM
208-230V
9-8.8 FLA
10-9.8 SFA
86.5 NEMA nom Eff
What would be the minimum VFD that would be sufficient.
The input voltage is 240v 1phase
Thanks again...
