A static phase converter is engineered to replicate 3 phase electricity to activate an electric motor. After the electric motor is operating properly, the static phase converter will deactivate. Once the static converter is shut down, the electric motor will utilize single phase power to operate.

No. A static phase converter is designed to disconnect once the electric motor is activated. As a result, the electric motor will operate on a single phase of electrical power. Once the electric motor is activated, two of the three motor windings are triggered. Due to the electrical constraints, do not utilize a static phase converter to operate a large load.

To operate a rotary phase converter properly, you will be required to obtain a single phase electrical connection, conduit, wires, and an adapter. On the other hand, the type of equipment and supplies that are recommended to operate a rotary phase converter will vary depending on the integration with the rotary phase converter and electrical power load.

The total cost of purchasing and operating a rotary phase converter is less when compared to investing in 3-phase electrical lines. A majority of power distribution organizations will recommend utilizing a single phase to three phase converter to generate reliable three phase electricity. Phoenix Phase Converters offers a large selection of rotary phase converters that are engineered to maintain CNC hardware.

Our catalog of rotary phase converters are integrated with generators that produce minimal noise. The cast iron generators are equipped with a stainless steel connection plate and provide superior performance when compared to a standard three-phase electrical motor. In fact, the three phase hardware in your facility will probably produce more noise than the rotary phase converter.

Depending on the configuration of your facility, a single rotary phase converter can be utilized to operate various three-phase systems. Prior to choosing a capacity for your phase converter, you will be required to perform an inspection to confirm the total quantity of three-phase systems that will be activated simultaneously. In addition,
it’s important to be familiar with the total amount of systems you will need to operate at the same time. These variables will make it easier to compare and choose a rotary phase converter for your organization.

In most cases, a three-phase operational control mechanism will be utilized to supply electricity to each three-phase system. If you select a proper capacity, a single rotary phase converter can be used to provide trustworthy three phase power to an entire facility. In most cases, the process of sizing a rotary phase converter is not easy. Give our team a call by phone at (866) 418-9060 to receive assistance choosing a phase converter for sale.

Computer numerical control (CNC) machines are utilized in various commercial industries that require 3 phase power. These machines are highly sensitive to unbalanced voltage levels. Using a rotary phase converter that provides varying voltage outputs will decrease the lifespan of your equipment. In addition, unbalanced voltage levels will negatively impact the operation of your hardware.

To operate a CNC machine, you are required to purchase a CNC rotary phase converter that loses or gains a maximum of 5% voltage balance. Unbalanced voltages provided by standard phase converters may lead to issues such as inefficient performance and operational noises. The CNC phase converters for sale in our catalog are able to be utilized with all categories of hardware and CNC equipment, including PLC’s, milling systems, EDM’s, and lathes.

Depending on the hardware in your facility, you may be required to purchase a digital rotary phase converter or rotary phase converter. A digital rotary phase converter is engineered to provide 3 phase power to your equipment at the start of the operational process. However, this type of phase converter for sale will transition to providing single phase power throughout the remainder of the operation cycle. Types of equipment that require a high torque start-up and lower horsepower (HP) ratings include milling systems and commercial saws.

On the other hand, our rotary phase converters for sale are designed to convert single-phase electrical power to three-phase power. This type of phase converter is compatible with sensitive equipment that requires consistent three-phase power. Our rotary phase converters for sale are engineered to supply power to EDM’s, PLC’s, lathes, pumping units, and more. Phoenix Phase Converters supplies a large selection of rotary phase converters that are able to accommodate various commercial applications.

A few quick questions so we can assist you better

What type of issue are you experiencing?

💡 Quick Check

A humming converter that won't start usually means:

  • Low voltage - Wire may be too small or the run is too long for your distance
  • Weak service - Your electrical service may not be strong enough to start the converter
  • Starting under load - Make sure all equipment is OFF before starting the converter (including transformers)
  • Loose connections - Check that all wire connections are good and tight

💡 Quick Check

Strange noises or vibration can be caused by:

  • Fused contactor - The two pole contactor may be fused together
  • Voltage drop - Your single phase line voltage may be dropping
  • Wiring issue - The motor may be connected wrong

When does the breaker trip?

💡 Instant Trip - Quick Check

If the breaker trips instantly, either:

  • Breaker is too small - Converter needs a larger breaker for startup surge
  • Wrong breaker type - It's not rated for a motor load (needs an overload type breaker)
  • Direct short - You have a direct short somewhere in the wiring

💡 Delayed Trip - Quick Check

If the breaker trips after a second or more:

  • Check motor connections - Make sure you have the motor connected properly
  • Do not use wire nuts - Use proper terminal connections instead
  • Check your voltage - See if your single phase line is dropping below 215 volts
