Static_converter.txt

Here is a static phase converter I built for my Dad's 3/4hp Powermatic Bandsaw Model 143.

This is just for 1 machine, and involved 3 parts from Grainger: a timer, a capacitor, and a single pole contactor.  Total cost was approx $50.

We tried to make the transition/upgrade seamless, otherwise said
- all the parts fit in the existing junction boxes
- there is no change to the starting procedure, just hit "start" button and go

Now it runs on 220v single phase with no problems reported.
