Power Converter

The distribution of alternating electrical current in which voltages vary in their supply capabilities is the definition of single phase power. Single phase power consists of three wires which are live, neutral and ground and the main breaker is a pole breaker. The circuit is alternating but only uses one since wave current flow.  This is where it differs from three phase power as it consists of three sine wave current flows. The single phase power sine waves cross 0 volts at 120 times per second.  This doesn't present a problem in every day to day living instances but if you are trying to power up equipment that needs three phase power, it does.  Single phase power is pretty much used in residential areas for lighting, receptacle, air conditioning and heating needs. 

The utility companies provide us with single phase power because it is so expensive to generate three phase power to areas.  They charge something like $50,000 to $90,000 per mile to bring three phase power to you.  The cost is very understandable as there is so much work involved to bring three phase power to you.

If you have a business with equipment that needs three phase power and you only have single phase power, you must find an alternative.  Large motors operate on three phase power and cannot operate on single phase power.  If you were to connect your three phase powered equipment to a single phase outlet, you would realize that it won't start as it doesn't produce a magnetic field that you need just to start it up.

To solve the problems of obtaining three phase power, it is recommended to convert your single phase power into three phase power with a three phase power phase converter. There are many three phase converters on the market today that will convert your single phase power into three phase power.

It is actually known that converting your power with a phase converter will give you a better balance and closer tolerances of voltage than even the utility company has to offer you.  The price is much better also.  

The static phase converter is one source of converting your single phase power into three phase power but this type of converter basically only gives your equipment just enough three phase power to start your equipment.  Once it gets started with the capacitor, the relay kicks in and disconnects that capacitor so now you aren't running on true three phase power. This could cause your equipment to burn up and does not provide your equipment with a balanced load.

The rotary phase converter is the best phase converter when you need to convert to three phase power. A good rotary converter will be built with a three phase generator with power factor correction.  This ensures smooth running voltage throughout the operation of your equipment or machinery.  Make sure though that you buy a rotary phase converter from a good quality manufacturer, as some manufacturers will try to sell you a rotary phase converter but it will not have that three phase generator with power correction on it.  Then you are basically only getting a static phase converter with a motor on it.

ACE Phase Converter has all the solutions in converting your single phase power into three phase power. They have been manufacturing the best rotary phase converter on the market today for over 25 years.  They use 100% copper wiring on all of their products and each component is tested over and over again until it is perfect for the consumer.
