Hi everyone,
I have a lathe that runs on 600V 3 phase, with a 200V dc motor for the apron drive. The main motor and the phase converter motor are both rated at 3hp each.
I want to replace the old selenium rectifiers with silicon ones. My question is: Can I buy the small silicon ones rated at 1000V-50A., or should I stick to something as close to the 600V of the lathe; on the same thought, can I use a 400V-35A silicon rectifier.
Thanks a lot
