American Rotary does not only service our customers throughout the United States but we are also worldwide. Not long ago, David reached out to American Rotary looking for a solution to bring three phase into his building located in the Caribbean. The only power available was single phase 120/240v. David’s company needed to test UPS (universal […]
It is true there are other options out there to get three-phase power to your equipment. Each option has its pros but it does come down to what is affordable for you and your situation. The options are to get three-phase power are through your utility line, a gas or diesel generator, or through a […]
Recently, Jim out of California called us and inquired about who exactly American Rotary is and why we do what we do. He was starting up a shop in his pole barn behind his house and had acquired a few solid pieces of three-phase equipment but only had single-phase power. It was a great conversation […]
Look for a Rotary Phase Converter with These Three Fundamentals Most farms lack access to the three-phase power grid, and paying the power company to bring three-phase power onsite is expensive. However, there is a cost-effective way to gain three-phase power for irrigation pumps and tower pivots, hullers and balers, grain dryers, and any other […]
Here’s What You Need to Know to Make the Most of Your Equipment Are you confused with the difference between single-phase and three-phase power? If so, you’re not alone. One of the best beginner machinist tips we can give is to use three-phase power from the git. Although many types of machining equipment operate off […]

Everyday we get hundreds of calls with questions about phase converters. So, we thought we would take a moment and go over the top 5 things you should know before buying a phase converter. As you can see, there are a few basic things you should know before buying a phase converter. As a recap: […]
American Rotary Phase Converters fill scuba tanks all over North America, from Hawaii to the Camen Islands, to Florida. We were fortunate enough to dive with one of our fans in Maui. American Rotary Compressed Air is the Best! Underwater video shot with a GoPro. The dive location was the Mala Ramp in Lahina, Maui.
The American Rotary ADX “Smart Series” Phase Converter demonstrates the starting power of these converters. We compare the time it takes an ADX to start (2.9 seconds) an Ingersol-Rand T30 20HP Air-compressor to the time it takes a typical rotary phase converter (7.9 seconds) to start the same air-compressor. Just over 2 minutes.
For years, many companies have used (and continue to use) the inexpensive method of “stacking” run capacitors in order to get a phase converter started. Those capacitors are not taken out of the circuit once the phase converter is running, which results in extremely high voltage and current imbalance. This condition causes current overloads that […]
We thought we’d take a moment to talk about American Rotary’s integrated soft start. For years, phase converters have had a reputation of drawing a huge inrush current upon start up. This disproportionate power draw has resulted in, among other things, dimming the neighbor’s lights, demand charges from the utility, and large increases on power […]
