Rotary Converter

$495 plus $55 shipping

Rotary Phase Converters. They run all types of equipment that need 3 phase power. The Phase Converters run off of 240 volt single phase power, that is in your home or business. 

The size of converter you need depends on the size of the motors on your equipment. Some require special sizing to get the right converter.

With a 5 HP Rotary converter You may also run more than one motor off the same converter, as long as it is not larger than the 5 hp and run a combined total hp of all motors up to 15 hp. With Rotary converters you get full power and instant reversing.

 Here are some sizing examples:

  • 5 hp Table Saw would need a 5 hp converter.
  • 7-1/2 HP Gear Head Lathe would need at least a  10 HP Rotary Converter.
  • 10 HP Air compressor would need a 20 HP rotary converter,  Air compressors have harder initial starting loads.
  • 15 HP CNC Machine would need a 30 HP CNC Converter. The larger converter is needed to run the machine properly to maintain voltage.
The harder the starting load of an Air Compressor and the type of machine as with Computer Controlled machines require a Converter that is 2 times larger than their motors.

All of our Rotary Converters  have a switch to turn them off and on.Nothing extra to buy. Totally enclosed fan cooled heavy duty idler motors.

Our Converters have easy wiring 1 box for 240v single phase in and 1 box for 240v 3 phase out

We also have remote control starting of the converter with our hand held remote unit for an extra cost.
 
 


 

Converters run Three-Phase motors on single phase power at 2/3 rated horse power. Standard converters are for equipment that does not have much of a load at start up and few starts an hour. 

Heavy duty converters are for machines that start more often and that have a bigger load on the motor, not a free wheeling situation. Choose the size for the motor on your machine. These converters are usually just for one motor or just one machine.

Converters are not for Welders, CNC Machines, Air Compressors,   Hydraulic or Water Pumps or any machine that needs all three phases to power for the machine to work properly. For indoor use only.
