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.

What Size
3-Phase Converter Do You Need?
When selecting a phase converter, it
can be very confusing trying to decide the correct size of 3-phase
converter that will best operate equipment to its optimal
capabilities. If you have several operations with more than one piece
 of
equipment, the phase converter must be able to handle all of your
application requirements. Choosing the right size 3-phase
converter is one of the most important factors to consider. Many
times a phase converter may have to be replaced only because the
converter was too small to handle all of the applications that it
operated. Selecting the right size 3-phase converter will enable
your equipment to operate for many years without the worry of expensive
repairs or replacement.
There are many types and sizes of 3-phase converters on the market
today, and with the correct size converter, there should be no problem
meeting your electrical power requirements. Before purchasing your
3-phase converter, it is highly recommended that you contact a reputable
manufacturer such as Ace Phase Converters. Log onto their
Phase
Converter Application and Sizing webpage, which will give you great advice
about sizing. Also, there is an additional webpage on
Advanced
Phase Converter Application and Sizing as well. Discussing your electrical
requirements with an experienced and knowledgeable customer service
representative will answer any questions you have in regard to what
3-phase converter best suits your particular applications. Remember,
one of the key factors to consider when purchasing your 3-phase
converter is making sure you have the correct size. Also, read all the
articles about the different types of converters on our
3-Phase
Converters website.
Below are some of the questions you need to
ask when purchasing the correct size 3-phase converter:
- Does the 3-phase converter have automatic
controls that are easy to start?
- What is the HP of the main motor and the HP
of any other motors you may be operating?

Some additional questions about the manufacturer that need to be
addressed are:
Today, there are many manufacturers selling 3-phase converters.
However, many of these converters that are being marketed are not true,
3-phase converters. Many of them are static converters with motors.
Static phase converters do not
actually convert one-phase power to three-phase power, nor do they
generate three-phase power while operating equipment.
True, 3- phase
converters are built with a hybrid generator and produce a continuous
balanced, three-phase power from a single-phase power load. One of the
leading manufacturers of 3-phase converters is
Ace
Phase Converters. They have a very knowledgeable and
professional staff that can answer any questions you may have. Ace
Phase Converters manufactures high-quality products, and you can be
assured they will assist you in choosing the right size
converter. Log onto to their website for more information.
