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.

Rotary Phase
Converters
In todays world,
three-phase power is very much in demand. Most industrial equipment and
machinery are now manufactured to operate with three-phase electrical
power loads. However, most residential operators and businesses that
use
 three-phase
equipment dont have three-phase electrical capabilities. Most
facilities have single-phase power, and running applications with
inefficient electricity has now become a large problem. Many operators
continue to run equipment with single-phase power only to create other
difficulties with their application requirements.
Many times, because of an inadequate power sources while running job
applications, operators experience their equipment overheating and thus
having their machinery break down. This results, not only in expensive
repair, but production downtime causing great loss of revenue. This is
when obtaining three-phase power becomes a great solution.
True, rotary phase converters have saved the day for companies
that require three-phase power. In the past, companies had to rely on
local utilities for their three-phase power needs, only to pay thousands
of dollars for installation. In rural areas, getting the needed power
wasnt always a possibility if the utility companies couldnt provide
three-phase electricity. Now, with new state-of-the-art technology,
true, 3-phase converters such as rotary phase converters have been able
to provide the electricity needed for companies to operate their
equipment safely and economically without the headaches of machinery
repair or breakdown.
Rotary phase
converters are manufactured with balanced, 3-phase generators and have
power factor correction. They produce three-phase power from a
single-phase power load creating a more balanced form of electricity
because it operates with three-phase circuitry. This allows three-phase
equipment to run optimally because of the constant flow of power. In a
three-phase converter system three circuits are used to carry three
alternating currents of the same frequency, which reach their
instantaneous peak values at three different times. Each circuit in a
three-phase power load carries electrical current operating in three
different phases resulting in a constant flow of electricity.
Because of the rotary phase |
converters alternating currents, a more balanced power load is
created with an uninterrupted flow of current. When there is a constant
flow of electricity, a smoother form of power is operating machinery
eliminating overheating and breakdown. With single-phase power, there
is always the fear of irregular electrical voltages due to imbalance,
which is why equipment can be damaged because only one circuit is
carrying an imbalanced power load.
Reputable manufacturers of
3-phase converters, such as
Ace
Phase Converters,
have eliminated problems such as
harmonics that damage the equipment, voltage imbalances and the
inability to operate multiple loads. Companies can no longer afford not
to use the updated technology that true, 3-phase rotary phase converters
offer. Also, 3-phase converters can operate more than one piece of equipment
simultaneously. They can handle small electrical applications such
as welding equipment to large power plant conversion applications used
by power plants. Rotary phase converters are safer to
operate because machinery doesnt breakdown or become damaged, which can
cause hazardous conditions.
There are some very important
factors to consider when
purchasing your 3-phase converter. A reputable manufacturer should be
contacted to help design the right converter that will operate your
applications efficiently. Also, the correct
size
of the phase converter is one of the main considerations,
and knowledgeable
 manufacturing
staffs can assist you with the right selection. Always choose a 3-phase
converter manufacturer who can provide at least a five-year warranty on
their converters. Dependable warranties are an excellent indication
that companies stand behind their products.

3-Phase Converters
are a more economical solution to three-phase power applications.
It can cost up to $50,000 to have 3-phase power installed by local
utility companies. 3-phase converters produce a true, balanced
three-phase power source, which enables equipment to run to its optimal
capabilities.
