Phase Converter Spa Treatment

Giving a "Spa Treatment" to my beloved and indispensable phase converter - provider of all the sinusoidal power in the Shrine, for every Hand-Me-Down that thirst such energy #engineering #phaseconverter #satisfying

Very nice implementation of your project! Good job!👍
I used to work at a place that used something similar, a Georator, to convert shop power into 400 Hz 3 phase aircraft power for some of our test equipment. They take a beating, having a lot of run time, but are reliable. I think it would make a big difference if you would place those acoustic panels around the motor for noise suppression, as long as there is cooling air flow.

Thank you @springpan. I’ll work on getting those acoustic panels installed. I got to make sure they’ll not cause additional noise because of the large, open surface area. I had my buddy in the shrine yesterday and when he stepped in the PC was running and he said it’s a lot quieter. It’s a pity I don’t have a sound power meter. Yet.

Maybe the magnetic field from the stator coils was making the mesh rattle, if it wasn't rubbing on the rotor.

Hi Jimmy. Thanks for the comment. I think you’ve opened my eyes on something. I just looked again and realized the internal fan is made out of sheet metal. A solid piece of ferromagnetic metal in an alternating magnetic field. What could possibly go wrong with that?! :) I’ll probably swap that fan out for a plastic or aluminum one in addition to the sound dampening panels. Stay tuned!
