What size and type of phase converter will run your job applications?Knowing the correct size and type of a phase converter is most of the battle when you are selecting  a phase converter that will operate your machinery and equipment to their optimal capacities.  If you are considering building your own phase converter, how will you know the correct size and type of phase converter if you are not educated and experienced in the field of electrical three-phase power?  Even with some experience, three-phase equipment and machinery can be very complicated, and it takes a professional manufacturer to keep up with the newer technologies.

Having the correct size and type of phase converter will prevent accidents and operate equipment to its optimal capabilities.There are many industrial injuries every year because of equipment not being properly operated with the correct  electrical three-phase power sources.  Safety is always the first consideration, and if you don't have the correct size and type of phase converter, you may be putting your operators in great danger of injury.  If your phase converter is too small and not the correct type, you will not have balanced power loads running your three-phase equipment.  This can harm equipment due to imbalance power surges causing machinery to break down or permanently be damaged.

There are many guidelines to consider when selecting the  right size phase converter.  Remember, it is always better if you seek out an experienced manufacturer of quality phase converters such as Ace Phase Converters.  They can give you their expertise in the correct size and type of phase converter that will best meet your particular requirements when operating industrial equipment and machinery.

  • How hard is it to start your equipment?
  • What is the total HP of the motors you will be running, but not starting at the same time?
  • What size single-phase supply breaker do you need?
  • How hard will it be to install the phase converter?
  • Is there a long-term warranty on the converter?
  • What if I need to return the phase converter because it doesn't meet my electrical power needs?  Does the manufacturer have a return policy?
  • Can the phase converter be placed out doors?
  • What voltage levels do I need to run my equipment?
  • What type of phase converter will provide the three-phase power supply that will best operate my equipment?

These are only a few of the questions you will need to address.  This is why it is always best to contact an experienced manufacturer.  What questions you don’t know, they will ask you.  Because of their extended knowledge and expertise, they will make sure you have selected the correct size and type of phase converter.

It takes many years of education and experience to know how to build a three-phase converter.As we have stressed so many times in our articles, leave the design and construction of your phase converter to the professionals that have many years of education and experience in the field of three-phase electricity.  It will save you time and money in the long run, not to mention lessening the added stress of building your own phase converter.  Remember, reputable manufacturers offer long-term warranties, which you can't offer yourself when you build your own phase converter.  Usually the plans and designs that operators use when building their own phase converters are not designs that are specialized for their particular job requirements.

When you work with a reputable phase converter manufacturing company such as Ace Phase Converters, you can be assured that you will receive the best assistance possible when selecting the correct size and type of phase converter.
