Anything special about converting VAX 11/780 to single phase?

Gunther,


That one single phase would surely need a lot of current - if you intend to
run the entire machine from one power feed. As you recall when you were
visiting Houston, I ran mine from three different sources because all three
together were more than 15 amps.

Those 3 blowers alone account for almost a kilowatt by themselves. (At
least on startup).

I have some more testing to do on mine, but I think I can drop it to two
feeds, which would run from a 240V outlet just fine.
