 Voltage balance is the single most important factor in three phase power. Just a slight voltage imbalance can damage your motor. Even utility companies' three-phase service can be unbalanced enough to harm three-phase equipment. That is why you see devices that monitor phase balance in so many manufacturing facilities assuring the protection of their motors and equipment. Voltage unbalances shorten the life of three-phase motors and adversely affect the performance of the equipment. What happens when the voltage is unbalanced? The temperature rise of the motor will be greater, which makes the motor run inefficiently and the rated horsepower of the motor must be derated. Operating a motor above a five percent imbalance is not recommended. Sensitive electronic equipment such as CNC machines and computers will not tolerate an unbalanced voltage. The reason phase converters are not used more widely is because of the bad name they receive by not providing a balanced voltage. Manufacturers have advanced in their technology, and now there are phase converters that can offer a balanced load within one percent. One of the most important things to consider is to make sure you are getting a true, three phase rotary phase converter. Many manufacturers are selling a static phase converter with a motor. Static phase converters cannot give you a balanced voltage. This results in damaged equipment. We recommend that you check the warranty the manufacturer is offering. If the manufacturer does not offer a five-year warranty on their phase converters, it is not a good idea to do business with them. The majority of the time, a manufacturer that offers less than a five-year warranty is selling a static phase converter with a motor, which can result in serious equipment damage and high cost repairs. |
ACE Phase Converters are the leaders in producing a quality rotary phase converter. They use only quality materials, and their rotary phase converters generate three phase electricity with an active hybrid generator. They have been producing phase converters for over 25 years and offer the best warranty in the industry. The Phase Converter Manufacturer Directory is a great source in helping you choose the right manufacturer and the right selection of a quality phase converter. A true, three phase rotary converter offers an affordable, versatile solution for supplying three phase power. A rotary phase converter can operate more than one piece of equipment. Some of the applications include:
