Rotary Phase Converters
Rotary Phase Converters
are the most popular phase converters because they can produce true,
three phase power. In today’s world, we are seeing more three phase
equipment being used. The reason for this is that three phase
equipment lasts longer than single phase equipment and is less
expensive and easier to find.
Because of the increase of three
phase equipment, we are also seeing a dramatic increase in the use
of phase converters. If you have been in the market for a phase
converter, it doesn’t take long before you are completely confused
by different information given by manufacturers. One of the reasons
for all this confusion is there are few regulations on the
manufacturing of phase converters. The Three Phase Electricity
Specialist’s goals are to give you the correct information on
selecting a quality phase converter that meets your operational
requirements.
What is a Rotary Phase
Converter?
A rotary
phase converter is a device that allows three phase equipment to run
on single phase power loads. They convert single phase power to
three phase power. Quality rotary phase converters use a balanced
three phase generator with power factor correction. This technology
produces a balanced and safe three phase electrical power the same
as the utility companies provide. The rotary phase converter works
by using a three winding motor. Two of the windings are acting as a
motor, and the third winding is acting as a generator making sure
that there is balanced power produced with effective start-up
capabilities.
One of the most important
factors when you are using a phase converter is that it produces a
true balanced load. Unbalanced power loads can cause damage to your
equipment and shorten its life expectancy. A quality rotary phase
converter can sometimes produce better, more balanced power than the
utility companies. Rotary phase converters are very dependable and
offer years of quality service. They will run your equipment
safely, which means there will be fewer repairs and less production
downtime. There are still rotary phase converters being used today
that have been producing balanced power loads for over 50 years!
Selection of a Rotary Phase
Converter:
When
selecting a rotary phase converter, sizing is always important.
Most problems occur because the converter is too small. Rotary
phase converters should always be sized larger than the power needed
for an application. Choosing a reputable manufacturer, who has
experienced professional staffs and engineers can help you in
selecting the right size rotary phase converter for your application
requirements. Our Three Phase Electricity Specialist Study found
ACE Phase Converters

converters. They have been producing quality phase converters for 25

The U.S. Phase Converter
Standards. Org is a great site providing ratings on phase converters
and also provides a phase converter purchasing checklist, which is
extremely helpful. Also, see our informative links on the bottom of
the page, which will provide you with excellent information on phase
converters.

Static Phase Converters are not true phase converters. They do not
produce three phase power.
Always remember to seek out a reputable manufacturer of
true, rotary phase converters. It will save you money and valuable
production time in the long run and provide you with many years of
quality service.
