This project is a 3-phase step-down transformer to power two high-temperature fans. It contains 3 single-phase transformers wired in a delta-wye configuration which drops the voltage to about 100V per phase to slow the fans down a bit.
Proposed Upgrade June 2011
The system is being upgraded to handle 4 fans. The power supply (transformer) box will be replaced by a 3-phase Variac

- Note: All switches, temperature controllers, and the variac will be mounted on the boxs front panel. All plugs, input cables, and fuses will be mounted on the rear panel.
- Bill of Materials for Variac Box
Existing system as of May 2011
- Power Supply (transformer box) as built: ExpressPCB
