Asking my bro fer thi!Evening all you elastictrickery experts
My new gym has three phase power. How do I / can it be converted to normal sockets?
TIA

Any 2 legs for 220v, any 1 leg + neutral for 110v. I believe your system is the same as ours.

Check the ratings. If it can operate with 220v 3 phase you could use an inverter to go from 220v single to 220v 3 phase. If not you can get a rotary converter but it will be £££.
The other option is to change the motors for single phase jobbies.
From somewhere in the deep reaches of my mind,
415v can give you 2 outputs, so taking a supply from one phase and neutral will give you 239v.
415/ root 3 is 239.
I can see it and I can draw it but by f#£k I can’t explain it very well.......so,so long ago.
Obviously the neutral comes from the centre of the star..
Edit....see Zep’s here so I’m about to be debunked.....lol..
'Motors'?
It's a gym (I'm aware of the deep irony that everyone wants 3 phase in their workshops and I have it somewhere I don't need it)

So you are going to be generating 3 phase? Got a spec sheet?
Sorry, don't listen to meNo, it really isn’t.
But he hasn’t got motors to power...just a supply I guess..in which case Chris needs it converting at the main supply.You are right, but 3 phase motors get really upset running with single phase at anything other than a very light load.
I hadn't thought of that
So by gym, I mean for kung fu. No running machines etc. I suddenly realised this might be causing some confusion...

I’m not sure that has made it any clearer!

Frankly it’s all a bit baffling, if there are no motors just electronics, these will generally work on one of the three phases. Which then kind of begs the question as to why the two other phases are there. I am waiting with baited breath!
