The Mazak is three-phase, and plugs into a twist-lock receptacle, but I don't recall if it is 240V or 480V. Depending on how continuously you will need power we could unplug the Mazak and plug in your machine. I seem to recall that the plug is fed from a disconnect, which is handy for safety. I _think_ there might have been two plugs next to each other, but I'm not sure. I'm certain that there is 480V available - can you scrounge a suitable 480 to 240 transformer? I think you need about 5KVA. As far as single phase 120V for computers and such - there are some limits. Last year when Aram plugged in his coffeemaker it took out the breaker powering our computers. Two years ago Ray hooked up some single phase 480 to 120V transformers for additional 120V. Actually I'm writing this I'm talking to Ray on IRC, and we're planning for more 120V power. There is plenty of 480, and I'm probably gonna pick up a couple surplus 480-120V transformers. Ray will hook them up. (This is single phase stuff - three phase is limited to what is available along the back wall - I think there is both 240 and 480).
