I just bought a high end Phase converter, 40 HP to run my 20 HP shear, The shear cap. is 1/4" x 10' and it will cut 12" of 1/4" without a problem but when you try doing more than that you have to hit the pedal about 3-5 times to cut 5' of 1/4".
I still have to check blade gap, but the edge after the cut feels normal, the blades are sharp, no nicks that I could feel.
I called accurpress and the guy acted like ( Ya this is common when trying to run a shear off a phase converter )
The legs of the phase converter are where the manufacturer said they should be.
The made phase is measuring about 256 Volts when measuring from L1 to 3 and L-2 to 3 , The voltage between L1 to 2 is 242 so that seems good from what the Phase converter manufacturer said, The made phase should be higher when measured between legs.
They said don't measure from leg to ground because that would be an in accurate measurement.
If indeed the phase converter does not put out full capacity, the guy from accurshear said my only other option would be to go with a smaller pump which would cause the shear to operate slower but would allow me to maintain the high pressure required to shear 1/4" which would require less HP. which seems to be the problem.
I will call the phase converter company tomorrow to see what they have to say.
