Comparing Phase Converter and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Applications
Facilitating voltage conversion, from single phase to three phase, is a common issue in locations where three phase power is unavailable, severely lacking or too costly to introduce from the supply line. As a solution, businesses may use a device that converts a two-line, single-phase AC source to three-line, three-phase power. The two options that will be explored in this article include phase converter and variable frequency drive (VFD or inverter). Types of Phase Converters A phase converter facilitates three-phase conversion by taking two single-phase lines and supplementing them with an additional leg, resulting in true three-phase power. Phase converters …
