VFDs for Single Phase Applications

Instructions / March 7, 2022 / Leave a Comment

VFDs and Single Phase AC Motors As a 3 phase converter supplier providing technical support, we had a lot of farm and agricultural customers. Their applications ranged from running fans, pumps, elevators, agitators, augers, conveyors, etc. The farm installations often didn’t have access to three-phase power and had to make do with single-phase 230V. People often wanted to run the motors at reduced speeds so they asked, “Is it possible to add a VFD to my single phase motor?” In general, single-phase motors cannot be run with VFDs.  However, it is possible to input a single-phase to a VFD and output …

Three-Phase Converters for Metalworking & Welder

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

Like many other applications, three phase metalworking equipment requires three phase power to operate properly. Industrial metalworking equipment can include both motor and non-motor (resistive and inductive) loads. The voltage-sensitive equipment needs to be operating at full capacity with a balanced output, allowing for different types of loads to be handled with efficiency and precision. ATO phase converters are incredibly versatile, able to power both tiny, lightly-loaded machines and huge, heavily-loaded machines. You’ll only need one phase converter to get the job done. Some of the common metalworking applications that can be powered by a three-phase converter include: Welders Ironworkers …

Installation & Application of Phase Converters on Submersible Pump Motors

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

The phase converter and the four or six inch submersible pump motor have been quite successfully applied to single phase lines for many years. The phase converter and the four or six inch submersible pump motor have been quite successfully applied to single phase lines for many years. It is necessary to recognize the special characteristics of the submersible pump motor and also the characteristics that are encountered whenever this motor is operated from a phase converter. These characteristics must be considered in determining the proper size of phase converter for the submersible pump motor. Submersible motors do not follow …
