Rotary phase converters are converters that produce three phase electrical power from a single phase electrical power source. They allow three phase loads to run using single phase electrical power sources that are converted into three phase power. Because of the increased use of three phase machinery in our industrial workplace, rotary phase converters have become more in demand. A true, three phase rotary converter uses a three phase generator with power factor correction components. True rotary phase converters produce a balanced, safe three phase power that is even better than the standard utility companies can supply, and they are easy to install. Unbalanced power loads can damage equipment and result in costly repairs or production downtime. Rotary phase converters can produce three phase power, which run three phase equipment with the correct voltage balances. The harmonic isolation content of a rotary phase converter is more efficient than other converters and enables equipment to run smoothly. Your machinery will have better productivity, run safer and will have less repair costs. When selecting a rotary phase converter, it is always important to choose the right size converter. Always assume your equipment might be hard to start or that you are running more than one application. When difficulties occur, it is usually due to the fact that the converter is too small. Rotary phase converters should be sized larger than the power needed for an application. A larger size converter will insure that the motor starting currents are adequate and will continue to run equipment with a balanced power load. Some of the applications that rotary phase converters are used for are welding, drill presses, CNC equipment, grain dryers, farm equipment, pumps, restaurant equipment just to name a few.

True rotary phase converters are manufactured with high quality materials, such as using copper for the windings. They can operate 35 years or more providing three phase power that is balanced and dependable. Installing three phase power by utility companies is costly, sometimes costing up to $50,000 per mile. The time it takes to provide three phase power from local utilities can be lengthy, which can cause loss of revenue during production downtime. In rural areas, three phase power cannot always be provided. Always select a reputable manufacturer, who has experienced engineers that can help you in the correct selection of the right size rotary phase converter for your application requirements. Make it a point to ask about the warranty. Manufacturers that offer long-term warranties stand behind their products and rank high in quality and service. 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.
