The phase converter converts single-phase power into three-phase power by presenting a third sine wave (or third line) generated by the ongoing single-phase power source. This allows the operation of three-phase designed machinery in areas where only single-phase electricity is available.

A single-phase power current is two lines, one is live(hot) and the other is neutral. However, in three-phase, there are three live lines that ensure a smooth and efficient energy transmission. The phase converter sets up the missing third phase, enabling proper functioning of three-phase motors and machinery.

This conversion permits businesses, workshops, and industrial regards to utilize heavy duty machinery without the expenses associated with the installation of three-phase utility service. It becomes a reliable and cost-effective means of running lathes, mills, CNC machines, compressors, and other industrial-grade tools in areas where only single-phase power is present.
