3-Phase
Power
Why use 3-phase
power instead of single-phase power? How will it affect my
equipment?
Why Use a
Phase Converter?
Is a phase converter more economical
than purchasing 3-phase power from utility companies? Will my
equipment operate more efficiently?
Building Your Own
3-Phase Converter
Is it difficult to build your own
phase converter? How can you be sure your converter will be a
true, 3-phase converter?
Types of 3-Phase Converters:
Rotary Phase Converters
Provides a continuous source of three-phase power. They can
operate more than one piece of equipment and will run 35 years or
more. Rotary phase converters are true, 3-phase converters and provide true, balanced
electricity.
Static Phase Converters
Produce a three-phase power source for only a few seconds during the
startup of equipment.
Digital Phase Converters
Electronic and non-mechanical by nature,
and can be very expensive.
Variable Frequency
Converters
VFDs are designed primarily to
control the speed of AC motors.
CNC Phase Converters
These converters have power conditioning to
produce lower harmonic distortion, and they are an excellent choice for
running computer circuitry.

Digital
Phase Converters
 Digital phase converters are a new concept in
three-phase power. They are purely electronic and non-mechanical in nature, and they can be
expensive. They utilize proprietary software in a powerful
microprocessor to control solid state power switching components.
The software monitors the converter to produce three-phase power. Because of this new concept for three-phase power, it can
be very difficult to find a repair depot if something should go array.
Digital phase converters use a rectifier and an inverter to create a
single voltage. This voltage is added to the two legs of a single-phase
power source to create the third leg for three-phase power. Digital
phase converters cannot vary the frequency and motor speed because it
generates only one leg of power that must match the voltage and
frequency of the single-phase power supply. If the digital phase
converter is manufactured with
high-quality phase converter materials and
state-of-the-art technology, it can produce a balanced three-phase
electrical power source. Also, because of their electronic makeup,
digital phase converters tend to be more quiet.
This new concept in 3-phase converters has its imperfections. Digital
phase converters tend to take a sine wave and chop it up, which results
in a somewhat choppy synthesized three-phase sine wave. They tend to
have more harmonic distortion than other types of phase converters.
Also, power factor correction isnt always reliable.
Digital phase converters are very sensitive in nature due to its new
technology, and depending on them for heavy three-phase power loads
probably isnt a good idea. Due to their sensitivity, these types of
3-phase converters can experience equipment burnout by power surges from
power imbalances or lightning strikes. Their lifespan of operation can
be shorter than that of a rotary phase converter because of their
delicate electronic makeup.
Many manufacturers advertise that digital phase converters are
the solution to all job applications. However, beware of
advertisements. |
Digital phase converters are manufactured with new
technology that hasnt always proved to produce converters that are of
high quality. As mentioned earlier, because of the delicate
nature of digital technology, finding a repair depot or technical
support can be very difficult. Not getting prompt technical
support or necessary repairs would cause considerable
downtime during production, which would result in lost revenue.
In spite of the latest
marketing claims that digital phase converters are the three-phase
power solution of todays power demands, dont be fooled. True, rotary phase
converters
operate almost any application, and they have longevity for up to 30 years
and more. This is why it is so
 important to seek out a very reputable
manufacturer, such as
Ace
Phase Converters. When you
work with a very
experienced manufacturer who has an educated and professional
engineering staff, you can be assured that you will have the best
possible assistance when selecting your phase converter. There are many
things to consider when purchasing a 3-phase converter that is going to
be responsible for the operation of your valuable
equipment. By selecting a 3-phase converter that is manufactured with
high-quality materials and is the correct type for
your job requirements, youll come out way ahead. Businesses no
longer can afford not to have the three-phase power needed to run their
applications, and selecting a quality converter will eliminate costly repairs or production downtime!
