Re: CNC Mill Transformer
Back to the installation of the mill weather or not your electrician brings it up you could check to see the price to get the motors rewound to operate at the 208. Also keep in mind that you would need 3 transformers, one for each of the phases to boost up to the higher voltage, this coming from myself and my dad in the background, whom has worked with industrial controls and is a master electrician by licence with 25+ years of experience. Get an electrician from a local contractor, then you will be sure to get one whom is licensed and insured and no a lineman or maintenance man as most are in factories.

As is often said please consult a qualified professional.
