A rotary phase converter uses a control panel with a start circuit and run circuit to create balanced, clean power without excessive voltage. A three-phase idler/generator motor produces the third leg of power.
Some rotary phase converters are digitally controlled, enabling them to produce balanced power that is clean enough to run on voltage-sensitive loads such as a CNC machine, welder, or any other computer-controlled load.
A rotary phase converter does not change the voltage, but it can be paired with a transformer to step the voltage up or down depending on what’s needed.
To give you a better sense of your options, here’s an overview of rotary phase converters available from American Rotary:
- AR General Purpose: Designed for light- to medium-duty, general-purpose loads such as mills, single speed lathes and drill presses.
- AD Digital Smart Series: For CNC, VFD, rectified and any other voltage sensitive equipment.
- ADX Extreme Duty Series: Current control to provide consistent torque while starting high inertia, extremely hard-starting loads such as pumps, fans, compressors, blowers, dust collectors and flywheels.
- AUL UL Listed: Providing all the power and features of our ADX line, but with UL licensing to meet state or local requirements.
- AI Industrial Grade: With a Type 3R enclosure for ultimate protection in demanding industrial and agricultural applications.
- AMP Mobile: Plug-and-play ready for a quick, cost-effective installation.
