Bob, Originally only the A/C used 3 phases. However, my room addition is for a workshop, and I am installing a couple of 3-phase outlets for possible future use in case I come across a nice big milling machine, lathe or welder for $100 J. I would also be able to move the shack to the new room and power the linear from the same outlet (picking the right 2 phases!). Like I said, this is a delta high leg system, which I believe is the same as your open leg delta. There is a second, smaller transformer on the pole.

Do you have a true delta or is it an open leg delta? How many transformers on the pole and are they the same size? Open leg delta has two transformers. If it was installed specifically for your air conditioner, you may have two different size transformers (the cheapest way to do it). ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
