600v 3 phase machine in the UK

James Mardell 2 months ago

Hello

I have been asked by a client to install a milling machine in a mill that has come from Canada and operates at 600v 3 phase. The machine comes with a 400v to 600v transformer.

Are there any main considerations to take into account if this was to be installed?

thank you.

Check on the power frequency - if Canada is like the US it's likely to expect 60Hz rather than our 50Hz - which might have have a knock on effect on a number of things, not least the speed of 3-phase motors.

Also the transformer may well have a large start-up current - often D-type MCBs or over-rated fuses would be called for - with implications for Zs and so circuit length/c.s.a. etc..

- Andy.
