Safety of Rotary Phase ConvertersA true, three phase rotary converter, when installed properly, is extremely safe to operate. When you have a true rotary converter with a balanced three phase generator and power factor correction, it provides you with a balanced electrical load plus a smooth waveform, which makes it safe to use on all your three phase equipment. A static phase converter, because it does not provide you with true three phase power, cannot provide your equipment with a balanced load. When you are running any kind of equipment or motors, voltage balance is the single most important factor. Even a slight voltage imbalance can damage your motor. Large manufacturing companies or companies that have sensitive equipment have devices that monitor their equipment. Even the utility companies’ three phase service can be unbalanced enough to harm three phase equipment. Many times, you will see companies using a rotary phase converter or a CNC phase converter because they can provide a five percent balanced load. Utility companies can vary up to 12 percent. Voltage unbalances can shorten the life of your three phase motors and affect the performance of your equipment. When you have unbalanced voltage, the temperatures rise in the motor, which makes the motor run inefficiency. As a result, the horsepower of the motor is de-rated. This is the main reason why you should use a rotary phase converter instead of a static phase converter. A static phase converter cannot give you a balanced load. A word of caution, unfortunately some manufacturers label their phase converters as rotary phase converters, but, in reality, they are static phase converters with a motor. The Three Phase Electricity Specialist recommends ACE Phase Converters because of their high quality, and they manufacturer a true, three phase rotary converter. You can find more information on phase converters on the U.S. Phase Converter Standards' website. Also, for ratings on manufacturers, see the Phase Converter Manufacturer Directory. Our goal is to provide you with best information on phase converters and how they work.
