30—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 13, 1972 Phase Converters Helpful How to operate three-phase motors from single-phase power using phase converters is the subject of a new U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture bulletin. Phase converters are helpful on farms when three-phase power ;s unavailable or too costly to install, and for other reasons. The publication, issued by USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS), tells how the converter alters single-phase power into three-phase power and how to select, install and protect both the phase converter and the three-phase motors The bulletin does caution, however, that phase-converters, like any piece of electrical equipment, should be installed and serviced by an experienced person Three-phase motors are used instead of single-phase motors because they are more readily available and less expemsve than single-phase motors of the same horsepower They are also usually smaller, lighter and offer a greater choice in the type of motor-housing and horsepower rating In addition, three-phase motors are simple in construction, need no starter windings or starting devices and can be reversed by altering connections to any two of the motor leads Tips on Fresh Coconut To check the quality of a coconut, Extension consumer specialists at Pennsylvania State University suggest you use the 'slosh’ test to be sure there is milk inside See that no mold is present and that the eyes are not wet or pierced Hard as the coconut looks m its shaggy shell, the consumer specialists say it has three soft spots near one end To crack the coconut, pierce these soft spots with an ice pick and drain off the milk that is inside the shell Now tap the shell all over with a hammer until the hard shell cracks and falls off There is the delicious tender meat to use as you like STIHL 041 AV World’s first and only Chain Saw with built-in Shock to eliminate v I A 1 j trim JOHN I.
