I have a 3-phase converter installed on the 2nd floor of an older wood frame building. The phase converter is essentially a large electric motor which weighs about 400 pounds. The installer set it on a rubber pad with bolts running down into a piece of plywood attached to the wood frame floor. You can hear the vibration throughout the whole building.
How do I isolate the vibration? I am leaning to housed spring vibe isolation mounts. Should I also try to add some mass with a concrete pad or something?
