Figured you guys would know...
I have found a used 220 v 3-phase oven that I would like to use in my shop. The problem is that I only have 220v single phase. Without going to a phase converter is there a way I can run the oven off of single-phase by re-wiring the heating elements? IOW...how would I reconnect to single phase to not overload the elements but also give me the heat I need?
(Oh, even though I'm fairly electrical-challenged I did some homework and learned that there are two basic ways 3-phase elements are wired, star and delta. I just don't have enough knowledge of AC circuits to figure out how to swap the elements or if it's even feasible.)
