Benefits, Knowledge / March 9, 2022 / Leave a Comment

YOU’RE LOOKING FOR MORE RELIABLE 3 PHASE POWER – SHOULD YOU BE LOOKING FOR A 3-PHASE CONVERTER? HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO MAKE THAT SWITCH. Three-phase power is awesome. But it is right for you? Look at what a 3-Phase converter can do for you and your business. Most phase converters are used to produce three-phase electric power from a single-phase source. This allows for the operation of three-phase equipment at a site that only has single-phase electrical service. There are many benefits to shifting from single-phase to the more versatile 3-phase. Whether you’re working with a 1-phase shop, or …

What Are Rotary Phase Converters and How Do They Work?

Benefits, Comparison, Knowledge / March 9, 2022 / Leave a Comment

Have you ever heard of phase converters before? Many people have never heard of these before, but they’re useful for providing electric power. Their main purpose is to supply power to 3-phase electrical equipment by drawing energy from two single-phase lines. In many areas, installing 3-phase electricity is too expensive or isn’t available. A phase converter lets you convert single-phase power into 3-phase power, and there are 3 types of converters: rotary, static, and digital rotary. We’ll be focusing on rotary phase converters in this article, so read on to learn more. What are Rotary Phase Converters? Rotary phase converters …

When Would You Choose a Digital Converter?

Benefits, Instructions, Knowledge / March 9, 2022 / Leave a Comment

Digital phase converters provide high-quality, perfectly balanced power. This is especially important if you have a CNC machine or a machine that requires the highest quality power. Benefits of Digital Converters Perfectly Balanced Power The power produced has a voltage that is balanced to within 2% of the other lines. This is a huge advantage of digital phase converters. Consistent power allows your machine to have consistent torque. If you have a machine with electronic parts, the balanced power helps ensure that the circuit boards have the power they need to communicate reliably. Low Standby Power Consumption The digital converter …

The Benefits of Using a Static Phase Converter

Benefits / March 9, 2022 / Leave a Comment

Static phase converters are a great solution for business and in-home shops that receive single phase or split phase power at 240 volts and do not have the electrical power necessary to run their motor loads. While there are some limitations, static phase converters are a reliable solution for your power needs. In addition to fulfilling the power needs of businesses and homes, static phase converters offer the following benefits: High-Low Double Horsepower Rated There are two types of static phase converters available: Standard Heavy Duty (SPC) and High-Low Double Horsepower Rated (HL). The second model, the High-Low Double Horsepower …

Static Phase Converter Pros and Cons

Benefits / March 11, 2022 / Leave a Comment

The difference between Static and Rotary Phase Converter is that Rotary Phase Converter uses an idler motor to give you a continuous third phase, while Static Phase Converter just gives you a third phase for a startup boost. This means that if your 3-phase motor does not require full nameplate HP to operate on, you will be able to start your motor and use it at 2/3 of its horsepower. If you are like many small shop owners, you probably don’t have a three-phase power supply readily available to use. So how does a brand new entrepreneur sets up and …

Advantages of Rotary Phase Conversion Systems

Benefits / March 9, 2022 / Leave a Comment

All Rotary Phase Conversion Systems have common components: (1) a three phase motor winding that acts as a generator to produce a three phase output from a single phase power source, and (2) a run capacitor section that provides for a more stable current and voltage condition when loads are applied. Some Rotary Phase Converters also have what is known as a “start circuit” which consists of start capacitors, a contactor, and a control relay. The “start circuit” is the most critical link in these Rotary Phase Converters, since if one of these components should fail, the “generator motor” will …

Why Do I Need a Converter?

Benefits / March 9, 2022 / Leave a Comment

A 3 Phase Converter is needed when the “phase” required does not match the “phase” available.  In other words, the equipment needs 3 phase power and only single phase power is available.  Phase converters operate by converting single phase power into three phase power.  They can also provide split phase voltages from the three phase power source.  A 3 Phase Converter is used to allow operation of three phase equipment when single phase electrical services are the only power available or vice versa.  The majority of the time phase converters are utilized to produce three phase power from single phase …
