Good afternoon,
I know the title may be a bit confusing, I need to design a control system, to be ran in the US (480 3phase 60hz), to also be able to run in China(380 3 phase 50hz). We are building a new line, to be debugged, and ran off in the US for up to a year, before tearing down and shipping to china for the main production run.
My standard components are;
kinetix servo drives -480v 3ph 60hz
Robot -480v 3ph 60hz
CNC Controller -220v 1ph 60hz
Laser -460 3ph 60hz
And misc. AB control components rated 120-220 60hz.
The largest machine has a 480 100A service.
I am getting lost with the conversion. I can purchase the 480 components to be rated at 380, but am concerned with the change in Hz.
Can i build this machine at the 380 50hz spec, and use a transformer here in the US? How do I calculate the voltage needed for this transformer?
I have never had to deal with this problem before, and cannot find many resources online.
Thanks for your help.
