Isn’t It Cheaper to Build Your Own Phase Converter Than It is to Buy One?

Studies have proven it is not cheaper to build your own Phase ConverterThere are many three-phase electrical operators who think that building their own phase converter is substantially cheaper than buying one from a reputable manufacturer.  Studies have proven just the opposite!

The first thing to consider is that most three-phase equipment is cheaper to purchase than one-phase electrical equipment.  Today’s industrial machinery is mostly manufactured for three-phase electricity, and by having a true, three-phase rotary converter to run three-phase equipment, you automatically save on expense.  Also, if you purchase additional equipment, you already have a dependable three-phase converter in place to operate additional job requirements.

When building your own phase converter, you are never guaranteed that your applications will run safely and efficiently until you have completed the converter, and if the design wasn’t adequate, then you have to start all over again.  It can be very costly to build your own phase converter, and there is no warranty coverage for reimbursement if your phase converter isn't the correct  type and size phase converter to handle your job applications.

Having the right three-phase converter is more economical when you are operating expensive equipment.  A true, rotary phase converter such as an Ace Phase Converter will operate your machinery with a three-phase balanced electrical circuitry, which produces alternating currents that produce a continuous electrical input.  Equipment will operate A true, rotary phase, such as Ace Phase Converter in the long term will be cheaper thant building your own phase converter. without the risk of power surges due to unbalanced voltages.  With three-circuit electrical power, there is a steady and balanced flow of electricity eliminating equipment breakdown, and a true, rotary phase converter will allow your machinery to operate for many years without damage caused by unbalanced power loads.  It is definitely more costly to build your own phase converter because there is the risk that a self-built converter may not be designed to meet your specific electrical power needs.  A one-size phase converter design does not fit every piece of industrial equipment in today's marketplace.   

With Ace Phase Converter’s design, three-phase converters are

manufactured with the control box and generator being one unit.  This eliminates the need to run wiring from the control box to the unit that supplies the generator, making installation much easier and much more efficient.  You don’t have the extra cost of additional wiring, and your phase converter is all in one electrical component.  It can be more costly to build your own phase converter because of the additional materials for wiring the control box to the generator, and it takes additional space.

The sole purpose of a phase converter is to acquire three-phase electricity safely and more economically.  Why not have the comfort of knowing that your equipment will be operated to its optimal capacity, and you have the assurance that your phase converter was professionally custom made specifically for your particular job requirements.

The cost of getting three-phase power from utility companies can be a high as $50,000 per mile.
Since there usually isn’t the option of buying three-phase power from local utilities because of the outrageous expense of having power lines installed, you have two choices.  One, buying a true, professionally designed phase converter from a reputable manufacturer, and two, building your own.  It is too costly to build your own phase converter, and not many industrial operators know the ins and outs of designing a true phase converter.  Professionals at Ace Phase Converters have years of schooling and experience designing phase converters.  They are much more knowledgeable in their design technology, and they use the  highest quality phase converter materials reasonable because they manufacture industrial products at  higher volumes.  This allows them to sell to consumers at wholesale pricing, not to mention the long-term warranties they offer.  Because of Ace's high inventory, they can deliver their products in a few days of placing an order.

When considering all the factors that can go wrong and the concern for safety, it is just to risking and costly to build your own phase converter.  Shouldn’t you leave it to the professionals who can design exactly what phase converter will run your individual job applications.  Why go through the worry of guessing if you can have the correct phase converter designed with materials of the highest quality.

Remember, the right size and type phase converter will not only give you years of excellent production, but will save you money in the long run due to the high quality of experienced manufacturers!

Building Your Own Phase Converter is not always the most economical solution for  three-phase power.  There is no guarantee that most "do-it-yourself" phase converter wiring diagrams and phase converters dimensional drawing designs are that of a true, 3-phase converter.

Isn't it Cheaper to Build Your Own Phase Converter than it is to Buy One?
Many people try to save money by "doing-it-yourself."  However, when it comes to electrical three-phase converters, it's best to trust professionals who have many years of experience.


What Happens When the Phase Converter You Built Needs Repair?
Finding repair depots can be difficult, and when building a phase converter yourself, repair specialists don't always know how the converter was built or have the same kinds of parts and materials that were originally used.
