I have had good luck with sol-ark 15 kW powering small motors single phase, but a speed drive has rectifiers and capacitors. the drive needs 3 phase power or else the rectifiers get overloaded. If you only have these motors to drive and your solar array is 400 volt you may be able to connect solar directly to drive input again check with your drive supplier. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 25, 2024 at 11:46 AM Lou Russo via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Aloha All,<div><br></div><div>I have a project that requires powering 6 different pieces of equipment (mostly small motors) from East Japan that require 200V 3 phase (L-L-L) at 50Hz (though 60Hz appears to be OK), a unique electrical scheme for sure.
