Three-phase electricity is a type of alternating current (AC) that powers commercial heavy-duty equipment. To help you choose a rotary phase converter and other types of equipment for your commercial facility, we have created an outline of the applications for single-phase and three-phase electricity.

If you’re wondering how an electric motor works, you’ve come to the right place. We have created an outline of the purpose of electric motors, operating procedures, types, advantages, and disadvantages.

To size your phase converter, you will need to know the type and specifications of your machine such as the kW, HP, kVA, or AMPs ratings as well as the voltage. This will determine your system’s style load such as resistive, CNC, hard starting, or light duty. 

What is a static phase converter? How does it work? What size phase converter do I need? We have created an outline of sizing tips to give you the basic knowledge you need to determine if you need a static phase converter or if you need a rotary converter instead.

The nice thing about electric phase converters is that they work with most industries. It doesn't matter if you're in the food service, agriculture, construction, metalworking, or woodworking industry. Electrical phase converters will still be able to help you in at least one way, shape, or form. And since they can be used in a variety of ways, phase converters fill many different jobs. Perhaps you should consider checking out how a phase converter can help you.
