10HP Rotary Phase Converter
Our 10HP Rotary Phase Converter costs only 3 CENTS an hour to operate at idle speed. American Rotary has the only idler generator with a Soft Start rating by reducing the inrush current on start-up by a drastic 83%! Controller options that are available for this unit are: no controller (basic), mechanical, and digital.
10HP Control Panel Features:
- Electro-Mechanical Controller with CNC Balancing (optional)
- Digital Controller with CNC Balancing (available upgrade)
- Built-in Starter w/PowerGuardTM Protection
- 100% Power, Heavy Duty Performance
- Powder-Coated Steel NEMA 1 Indoor Enclosure
- Outdoor Enclosure (additional cost)
10HP Idler Generator Features:
- Designed and engineered specifically for phase conversion.
- Customized lamination process and higher quality materials.
- The only phase converter idler generator with a Soft Start rating! Save money at the meter by using less than 1/3 of the inrush current of any stock motor (TEFC or ODP) used by other manufacturers.
- Copper windings and ISR (inverter spike resistant) magnet wire protect CNC equipment and other voltage sensitive applications.
- Run cool, quiet, and efficient indefinitely - loaded or unloaded!
- Start easier, balance better, last longer, run quieter and are more energy-efficient than TEFC and ODP stock motors.
- Custom manufactured in the USA by Baldor Electric.

Sizing Help
Determine the load type of the application, and then consult the chart below. Please call us toll free at 1-888-743-6832 for sizing assistance and/or a professional recommendation.
- Easy - no flywheel, clutch, little resistance/inertia, 1-2 times full load current upon start-up
- Medium- machine inertia, medium resistance, 3-4 times full load current upon start-up
- Hard - flywheel, no clutch, starts against load, 5-6 times, or locked rotor current upon start-up
- Very Hard- elevator, hydraulic pump, equipment under continuous load etc
- Frequent Start- instant reversing, heavy running loads
- CNC - turning centers, PLC's, EDM, CNC machining
- Resistive - heaters, transformers, welders, power supplies etc.
