Power Requirements

Rule of Thumb: Make sure your power feeding your circuit breaker
panel is enough.  The KVA number should be at least the same size or
larger number of the HP of converter you have.


Example: 50 KVA 230 Volts is enough power to start a 40 HP Rotary Pase Converter, 50 KVA at 230 Volts is NOT large enough to start a 75 HP Rotary Phase Converter, but will be enough to start two 40 HP Rotary Phase Converters one at a time, and then paired together to achieve a 80 HP Rotary Phase Converter.

Phase Converter Size: Make sure the Phase Converter you are installing is large enough to run your equipment, and you have the right single phase voltage for the converter, either a 230 volt input or a 460 volt input.

Read First.

Most important step to know.

  • NEVER Start the phase converter with a load, this includes transformers.
  • Make sure you have the incoming service to start the phase converter, call your electric company verify the KVA size of the transformer, that KVA number should be larger then the HP of the idler motor.
  • DO NOT use WIRE NUTS for any connection, use the bolt down lugs. Check all make sure all connections even factory connections to the power block are secure, also recheck connections after a few week of using the converter.
  • When powering up the unit, if the idler does NOT come up to FULL SPEED, then shut the phase converter down right away. If you don't understand then call us or a qualified electrician. if you do not turn the unit off you have a chance to damage the idler motor that will not be covered under warranty.
  • Must be installed by a license industrial electrician, our guidelines are not to supersede local and state laws.

Breaker Size Requirements

  • Make sure you have a big enough breaker for your main to handle the starting of the phase converter.
  • Increase Copper Wire Size For Every 50 Feet And Round Up - For Breakers Use 2 Times the Full Load of the Equipment
  • You must use an Industrial Licensed Electrician
  • Magnetic controls, single phase loads, or resistive loads must be energized by L1 and L2
  • Follow your state codes, most state require a disconnect between the circuit breaker panel and the converter if over 50 feet.

Breaker Type and Size.

You will need to use a motor load type breaker. NOT a quick blow or trip breaker.

  • Sizing a breaker for a single machine with an inductive load (motors) double the amps size of the machine. Example if the equipment pulls 20 amps use a 40 amp breaker.
  • Sizing the equipment for multiple machine double the amp of the largest machine and add the the other machine that will run at the same time. Example; 20 AMP Lathe. 9 amp saw, 6 amp milling machine. 20 X 2 = 40 +9 + 6 = 45 amps, use the next stardard size breaker which would be 50 Amps two pole breaker.
  • Use the chart to make sure you don't go over or under the Minimum and maximum size allowed. For rural areas increase the minimum size breaker by 20% Click on the next picture to see this chart.

    Mounting the Phase Converter Panel

in process
in process

  • It is recommended to install the phase converter closer to the circuit breaker panel keeping the single phase wire the shorter wire, and extend your three phase line. Install the enclosure on the wall then mount the back plate.
  • After mounting the back plate make sure all the factory connections are tight they can become loose during shipping or from handling the phase converter.

    Connecting a Transformer to a Phase Converter

in process

  • When connecting a transformer to a phase converter, you must have a disconnect or a AutoLink in- between the phase converter and transformer, the phase converter must not be started with any loads, that includes transformers.

    Checking for Voltage Dropping while Powering ON the Phase Converter.

  • Most common reason for a phase converter not coming up to speed while trying to start is the voltage on your single phase line is dropping
  • On PL models you want to put a voltmeter on T1 and T2, check the voltage while trying to start the converter, if the voltage is dropping below 215 you could have problems start the phase converter.

in process

    Combining Two or More Phase Converters together


in process

    Checking for a Blown Capacitor

  • This should be preformed by an electrician, Capacitors may hold a electrical charge, make sure the phase converter main breaker is off, remove the cover to the capacitor holder, check all the (black capacitors) start caps, check punctures in the film covering the hole.

Top 5 Popular Presents This Year

Go-To Block Heel Pump

A low block heel and forgiving toe box keep your toes comfortable all night long. These classic black pumps check all the boxes when it comes to comfort and timeless style.The shoes feature a block heel that tops out at just the right inch for stability. We recommend keeping your heels under 3 inches. Go-To Heel's almond-shaped toe is a classic design that does not pinch your toes. A rubber outsole provides cushioning when your foot hits the ground, giving your ankle and joints a break. Note that even though these shoes are labeled as

Finley Closed Toe Heel

Light cork makes it easy to walk in heels. Podiatrists advise avoiding flat insoles for most foot types. But it’s especially important for those with flat feet who need a shoe with the right arch to provide the balance and support they need. These lightweight cork heels have built-in arch support and a memory foam footbed to hug your feet. Although the heel height is above the recommended three inches, the toe platform compensates for the height, and they’ve been specially designed to distribute weight evenly and support your unique arch position.

Ziva Kitten Heel

A timeless classic that provides ankle support with the backstrap and a flared heel for added stability. Podiatrists recommend wearing supportive flats for sore feet, but if you want to spice up your outfit with comfortable heels, the lower the better. Our expert suggests looking out for shoes with improved heel midsole cushioning and support. This can help protect the plantar fascia from becoming strained. These kitten heels feature a contoured foot design and deep heel cups that support the fascia in your feet. Note that these shoes are a little narrow - they may not be great for people with wide feet.

Everly Pump

Available in three widths, these pumps feature walkable heels and provide non-slip outsoles. With a pair of pumps like these Naturalizer Everly heels, you may be able to get through the day without any discomfort. They sit below the recommended 3-inch heel height and feature the brand’s signature open-cell foam padding to make it feel like you’re wearing the shoes and not the other way around. Choose from one of three widths (narrow, medium, wide) and strut with a pair of shoes that works for day or night, casual or special occasions.

Round-Toe Chunky Heels

These rounded-toe shoes provide an antibacterial, deodorizing cushion to keep your feet fresh. Anyone who has bunions should pay special attention to the toe box. Rounded or square boxes are better because pointed ones will add more pressure in that area. These heels from Vivaia have rounded toes to prevent worsening bunions, and their upper areas are knitted with flexible stretch. They’re also quite low at a little less than two inches to ease the pressure from your feet. And they have a non-slip rubber sole to help you stay put. If you have wide feet, we recommend selecting one size up for extra comfort.

4 Tips to Find Comfortable Heels

Know Your Right Shoe Size

It may sound silly, but a 2017 survey by the Podiatric Society found that almost half of the women in the UK alone are wearing the wrong shoe size. Your foot sizes change over the years, especially after having kids. When buying shoes, measure both width and length. A lot of people think it's wide or vice versa and it's not, so make sure to check that out before shopping.

The Thicker The Heel, The Better

Avoid thin heels: the stilettos. These heels often cause your feet to wobble around. If you wear stilettos every day, you may want to consider a chunkier heel style and change it up a bit. Chunky heels don't wobble as easily as high heels, which helps prevent your ankle from snapping.

Try a Shoe with More Top Coverage

The more coverage you have on the top of your feet, the better. Sometimes, you can wear high heels all day and they don’t bother your feet as much. In the summer, you can try something with an ankle strap or a large wide strap over the top. If you are worried about blisters and friction, you might want to try something that covers more of the top of your foot.

Opt for Platform Heels

Platform heels are more comfortable than single-sole heels because the actual heel is shorter than the heel height. The platform also reduces the impact of your feet touching the ground, reducing discomfort. However, thicker platform heels can cause your foot to wobble and your ankle to snap, especially if the platform is very thick and the heel is stiletto. The shoe should be a good ratio between a thick platform and a fitting heel.

Fun Facts About High Heels

Men's high heels are made to be comfortable and look good, so they will replace the standard sneaker as an everyday shoe. Men are also likely to buy more expensive shoes in order to get a better fit and style. The market for men's shoes will grow by 10% every year through 2024, according to Business Insider. In 2023, there will be almost 4 billion pairs of men's shoes sold each year—a nearly 50% increase from 2022 levels!
