About Three-Phase Power.

AUL - UL Listed Smart Series

The AUL Series rotary phase converters are designed for installations that require UL-certified electrical equipment while delivering reliable three-phase power from single-phase service.

Each AUL converter is UL Listed by Underwriters Laboratories, a globally recognized safety science organization that tests products against strict electrical safety standards. This certification provides confidence that the equipment meets recognized safety and compliance requirements for commercial and industrial installations.

The AUL Series also includes built-in surge protection to help protect equipment against lightning strikes, brownouts, and power surges.

When to Choose the AUL Series

The AUL Series rotary phase converters are designed for installations where UL-listed electrical equipment is required to meet building codes, inspection requirements, or facility safety standards.

These converters provide the same reliable phase conversion performance while ensuring the electrical system complies with recognized safety and certification requirements.

The AUL Series provides dependable phase conversion while helping ensure electrical installations meet safety and compliance requirements.

For applications where UL certification is not required, the AR Pro(link), AD Digital(link), or ADX Smart Series(link) may offer suitable alternatives depending on the equipment and load requirements.

What is an AUL – UL Smart phase converter?
An AUL – UL Smart phase converter converts single-phase electrical power into balanced three-phase power while meeting UL safety certification standards for electrical equipment. The UL listing confirms the equipment has been tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories for electrical safety and compliance.
A UL-listed phase converter has been tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to meet recognized electrical safety standards. Many commercial installations, government facilities, and regulated environments require UL-listed equipment to pass inspection and comply with electrical codes.
A UL-listed phase converter is often required when equipment must pass electrical inspection or when installations are subject to strict safety compliance. This may include commercial buildings, public facilities, manufacturing plants, and projects governed by local electrical codes.
AUL converters can power a wide range of three-phase equipment including CNC machines, pumps, compressors, machine tools, manufacturing equipment, and other industrial machinery.
AUL rotary phase converters are typically sized based on the horsepower of the largest motor in the system. Many installations follow a 2:1 sizing guideline to ensure sufficient starting capacity and stable operation.

American Rotary offers several phase converter series designed for different types of equipment and operating environments.
American Rotary offers several phase converter series designed for different types of equipment and operating environments.

  • AR Series  – General-purpose rotary phase converters for shop equipment and light industrial loads.
  • AD Series – Digital phase converters designed for voltage-sensitive equipment such as CNC machines, EDM systems, and VFD-driven machinery.
  • ADX Series – Extreme-duty phase converters built for high-inertia and hard-starting loads such as compressors, pumps, and heavy industrial machinery.
  • AI Series – Industrial-grade phase converters designed for outdoor environments and demanding agricultural or industrial applications.
  • AUL Series – UL-certified phase converters for installations requiring compliance with electrical safety standards.
Yes. AUL converters can operate multiple machines as long as the combined running load does not exceed the converter’s rated capacity.
AUL rotary phase converters generate a balanced third leg of power using an idler generator motor, allowing equipment to operate similarly to utility three-phase power.
No. AUL phase converters allow three-phase equipment to operate using single-phase electrical service, making them a practical solution when utility three-phase power is unavailable or too expensive to install.
