With a machine I bought recently, I received a 3-phase static converter. I don't have any use for it, so am looking to sell it. I've opened it up and it looks in pristine condition, but would like to test it first because that seems like the gentlemanly thing to do.
The 'connect a multimeter' solution seems obvious, but I know that these are designed to 'switch over' once the motor has started, so I didn't want to cause damage by running it without a load. The motor of the machine I bought doesn't work, so that rules out testing it there.
The transformer seems pretty beefy (earmuffs for scale) and it has the fantastic date stamp of 16/8/91, which is the same read upside down.
Any suggestions?
