Re: CNC Mill Transformer

-The power rating on the mill is 7kVA.

-It would be really stupid to replace the motors on a $105,000 mill just to get away from buying a $1,500 transformer

-Our sponser was the person who told us that the battery back-up was the transformer

-We are installing the mill next to the room with all the power coming into that wing of the building

-We don't like to just waste money, that is why we are buying the transformer, because it would also be kinda pointless to buy a transformer when we have the power right there

I am not trying to be negative when i say this but everything all of you are saying is common senseexcept for the delta/Y connection or whatever it was we do need to check on that.

I have called a couple places already and we are probaly gonna have a custom transformer made
