Phase converter going in

Righty Tighty said
The converter is a Phoenix Phase Converter and runs off of a bank of capacitors, which will then feed a breaker panel with 3 phase power. It's on a 50 amp circuit and I'll be using AWG 2 wire from the idler motor to the control panel, 2 gauge from the single phase supply to the control panel, also AWG 2 to feed the breaker panel. I understand that 2 gauge is probably overkill for a 50 amp circuit, but that's what it came with so that's what I'm using.

I'll determine the gauge that supplies the branches once I confirm the amperage draw of each machine, and then use an online calculator to figure conduit fill, so I can buy the right size conduit.

I am skeptical a 50Amp single phase breaker will supply a convertor for 25hp compressor if I understand what you shared. I don't have any experience directly with rotary compressors and if they might have a soft start nature. I'd guess you are needing closer to a 100amp feed to the convertor to run that size compressor, which btw sounds really neat. This should be covered in some manual online or otherwise. My experience is with a 25hp rotary convertor starting a typical 3Phase 7.5hp compressor, and it grunts upon start up. #2 is always better, but its really IMO just a really big surge on start-up that is the potential issue.
