American
Rotary Phase Converter Types
and phase converter definitions: |
General
Use Information about American Rotary Phase Converters: |
- What are rotary
phase converters?
Rotary phase converters are electrical devices used to converter single phase
power to three phase power for the purpose of running 3-phase
equipment at or near 100% of its rated horsepower.
- What are static phase
converters?
Static
phase converters
simply act as a means to start an electric motor. Once
that motor has been started, the static phase converter disengages -
leaving the electric motor to run on single-phase power. The
power is unbalanced and though it does work, the equipment can
only operate up to about two-thirds the rated horsepower before
forcing too much current through the motor windings.
The unbalanced output and "single-phasing" of a 3-phase
motor is hard on 3-phase equipment and may shorten the life of the
motor itself. While fine to use in some applications, static phase
converters are inefficient and tend to be hard on 3-phase equipment
and therefore, their use is limited.
- Phase
Perfect® phase converters?
Digital
solid-state phase converters, or simply, digital phase converters are
the ultimate in phase converter technology. Phase
Perfect®
has led the industry in this technology by monitoring the phase
conversion process by using a digital signal
processor (DSP) and then continually adjusting the input and output of
the converter to maintain a perfectly balanced power condition under
all load conditions. Learn

- Who Can Use Phase
Converters?
Phase
converters are most commonly used in home, hobby, commercial, or
industrial settings where utility 3-phase power is not available, or
is too expensive to install or use. Phase converters convert
single-phase power into three-phase power. Phase converters are a very
cost-effective way to power three-phase electric motors, and they come
with simple and easy to use installation manuals. Phase converters are
rated using the maximum horsepower that they can handle. A true phase
converter supplies an electrical current in all three phases of
operation of an electric motor. Due to the consistent energy flow, the
electric motor will operate at or near its full horsepower capacity.
- Are American Rotary
Phase Converters right for my application?
American Rotary
manufactures and distributes the largest selection of phase converter
in the world. As the only phase converter company to
offer every type of phase converter, you can be absolutely sure that
our only motive is to recommend the best phase converter for your
specific application.
- What types of
equipment do American Rotary phase converters run?
By
balancing the output, phase converters can be used on any type of
equipment. Common uses include woodworking, metalworking, CNC
(computer numerically controlled), food processing, welders, ovens,
grinders, sanders, mills, lathes, planers, mixers, and much more. You
will want to verify that the phase converter is rated for the specific
kilowatts (kW) that your equipment or machine requires. Our technical
support team is available 24/7 toll free at 1-888-743-6832 to answer
any questions you might have, and to help you properly size a rotary
phase converter for your specific application.
