Rotary Phase Converter Motors
Rotary phase converter motors are used to generate three-phase power from a single-phase electrical supply, allowing three-phase motors and equipment to operate where utility three-phase power is not available. These systems function as rotating generators, producing a third phase that delivers balanced voltage output suitable for industrial motors and other electrical loads that require true three-phase power.
Unlike static phase converters, which rely on capacitors to create a phase shift, rotary phase converters use a motor-generator principle to produce three fully developed phases. The result is a stable and well-balanced power supply that closely matches utility-provided three-phase electricity. This makes rotary phase converters well-suited for running voltage-sensitive equipment, multiple motors, and variable industrial loads.
RSP Supply carries rotary phase converter motors from North American Electric Motors designed for durability and consistent performance in industrial environments. These converters are commonly used in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, agricultural operations, and other applications where reliable three-phase power is required, but only single-phase service is available.
FAQs
Q: What does a rotary phase converter do?
A rotary phase converter converts single-phase electrical power into balanced three-phase power, allowing three-phase motors and equipment to operate properly.
Q: How does a rotary phase converter differ from a static phase converter?
A rotary phase converter generates a true third phase using a rotating motor, producing balanced output similar to utility three-phase power. Static phase converters use capacitors and typically provide less balanced power.
Q: Can rotary phase converters run voltage-sensitive equipment?
Yes, rotary phase converters provide balanced three-phase output that is suitable for voltage-sensitive motors and industrial equipment.
Q: When should a rotary phase converter be used instead of a static converter?
Rotary phase converters are preferred when running multiple motors, heavy loads, or equipment that requires consistent, well-balanced three-phase power.
Q: Can rotary phase converters be used with motor control equipment?
Yes, rotary phase converters are commonly used with motor starters, soft starters, and other motor control devices, depending on application requirements.
