I'm starting to get more three phase equipment in the shop and plan to buy a decent size rotary phase converter in the not-too-distance future. Instead of wiring the phase converter directly to one machine, I'm considering having the phase converter power a three phase circuit breaker, then wiring from that out to my machines with THHN or other suitable wire.
The reason why I'm posting this was to ask; does anyone have experience setting up a system like this? I'm in the process of googling, but looking for direct experience.
For context: I have experience with three phase wiring systems as they apply to machinery, VFDs and plenty of experience with single phase house systems. I have a 100a sub panel and a second 30a 220v circuit in the garage, either of which I could use to power this system.
Thanks everyone!
EDIT - Seems pretty straightforward, and along the lines of what i was thinking. Maybe this thread was unnecessary.
