Need A Variable Frequency Drive Or Rotary Phase Converter To Run Your 3 Phase Equipment On Single Phase Power?
These Phase Converters Will Convert Single Phase Input Power To Three Phase Output Power
Convert Single Phase to Three Phase
Precision Electric recommends using a variable frequency drive that is designed to convert single phase to three phase. Variable frequency drives are usually capable of converting 208-240 volt single phase power into 208-240 volt three phase power for electric motor applications.Most variable frequency drive manufacturers design products up to only 3 horsepower to convert single phase to three phase. Precision Electric offers solutions for customers looking to convert single phase to three phase electric motors that exceed 3 horsepower. Precision Electric also offers variable frequency drives to convert 120 volt single phase to 220 volt three phase, for many different electric motor applications.
Many applications in the industrial manufacturing world require larger size than the standard 3 horsepower to convert single phase to three phase. If you need a solution to convert single phase to three phase and the motor size is larger than 3 horsepower, Precision Electric offers solutions to these applications.
What Is A Variable Frequency Drive?
Variable frequency drives are also known as (VFDs), variable speed drives (VSDs), adjustable speed drives, and inverters. Most variable frequency drives are applied on alternating current (AC) electric motors. Variable frequency drives can be used in small appliances, large mills, lathes, air compressors, conveyors, and other electric motor applications. Variable frequency drives increase quality control in the industrial manufacturing world by monitoring the electric motors’ speed, pressure, temperature, torque, and tension.
Variable frequency drives can also be used to convert single phase to three phase. Variable frequency drives contain solid-state components that are designed to convert single phase power to three phase power on an electric motor. Most variable frequency drive manufacturers design 208-240 volt single phase input – 208-240 volt three phase output but only up to approximately 3 horsepower.
Rotary Phase Converters vs. Variable Frequency Drives
Rotary phase converters are not an ideal solution to convert single phase to three phase, because rotary phase converters are old technology. Rotary phase converters have moving parts, are typically heavy and make a lot of noise.
Variable speed drives are the best solution to convert single phase to three phase, because they have solid state components, which means there aren’t any moving parts. Since variable frequency drives do not have any moving parts, there is less wear and tear which means the lifespan of a variable frequency drive exceeds the lifespan of a rotary phase converter by far. Variable speed drives generally do not make much noise while operating, and they are also compact and lightweight.
Variable Frequency Drive Availability
When choosing a vendor to provide variable frequency drive products, technical support availability should always be the key factor in making the decision. Precision Electric offers technical support for every product they represent. Precision Electric is a reliable source to determine the best variable frequency drive products to convert single phase to three phase. Precision Electric has been working closely with variable frequency drive manufacturers and industrial manufacturers for nearly 30 years.
