Description
American rotary has been making premium rotary phase converters for more than a decade. For more than 10 years, American Rotary has led the industry in innovation and design. We have introduced, field-tested, and proven several technologically advanced features which have driven increases in the reliability and precision voltage balancing capabilities of phase conversion unmatched in the industry.
American Rotary provides 24/7 telephone support for technical, application and sizing issues. We stand behind our products with the best warranty in the industry. We use premium components to ensure that our products per-form for you. American Rotary is a UL Certified Control Panel Builder, and our rotary phase converters are available UL Listed to US and Canadian Safety Standards. American Rotary has partnered with Baldor Electric one of the world’s largest and most respected manufacturers to supply our custom-engineered idler/generators. The engineers at American Rotary worked with the engineers at Baldor for over a year designing a custom induction generator for phase conversion, which reduced the inrush current on start-up so drastically (83% reduction...a stock motor requires 600% more inrush) that American Rotary’s induction generator was granted a Soft Start rating, and a resulting reduction in operating cost!
American Rotary is listed with D&B as well as the Better Business Bureau, and they are committed to high ethical and privacy standards.
American Rotary along with Baldor Electric have created the ultimate Idler / Generator to provide balanced voltage and a voltage boost for extra starting torque. American Rotary's super quiet idler reduces its in-rush starting current by about 75%. The American Rotary / Baldor Idler is the ultimate in flexibility and smooth true sine-wave power.
All American Rotary rotary phase converters provide the voltage balance and true sinusoidal 3-phase AC output that many of today’s modern machines require. American Rotary's control panel has been engineered to exceed UL, CSA, & NEMA standards. We offer the easiest installation in the industry with straight line runs, terminal block connections, built-in starter, power guard restart protection, and no stress capacitor mountings. Rotary phase converters can be operated from almost any single phase 240 VAC power source that has adequate current carrying capacity. They can operate any type of equipment that requires 3-phase 240 VAC.

ADX-60-IW - Description Of Operation:
An additional 3-phase breaker panel may be installed on the line between the converter control panel and the 3-phase equipment. This is recommended to protect each piece of equipment and the wire that feeds that equipment.
The two single phase lines pass through the phase converter and are used to manufacture the 3rd line that completes the three phases. The output voltage will always be close to the input voltage. If a completely different voltage is needed then a transformer installed in front of the phase converter will be necessary.
The three-phase output is delta configured. Phase to phase voltages are similar to the input voltage, but phase to ground voltages are not all equal. When the two pass through lines measured to ground measure 120v, the third manufactured line will measure approximately 208v to ground. This voltage may vary widely depending upon load conditions. Most machinery requires a delta three phase voltage and this third line voltage to ground should not affect operation. If apiece of equipment requires a wye voltage and requires a neutral connection, the output of the phase converter must be run through a delta-wye transformer to create the neutral. The phase converter must be started before the transformer is connected electrically. This is done with a safety disconnect switch. American Rotary supplies these transformers and disconnect switches.
