Information and resources for phase inverters and phase converters. See the different topics that will be discussed.

Phase Inverters
A phase inverter is also known to be called a variable frequency drive. They are used to control the speed of electric motors. Most phase inverters are very sensitive with their circuitry.

Phase Converters
Phase converters transform three phase power from a single phase power source. There are many types of phase converters like static, rotary, digital and CNC phase converters. .

What's the Difference between a Phase Converter and a Phase Inverter
Phase inverters can only run some 3-phase motors on single phase but do not power any other type of 3 phase load. A phase converter converts that single phase power into 3-phase power to run multiple equipment.

Why is Voltage Balance Important When Running Three Phase Equipment
If your voltage balance in slightly imbalanced you can more than likely expect damage to your three phase equipment. 

Three Phase Power
Three phase power is the  most desirable and common method of electric power.  Most of the machinery today is designed with three phase power capabilities.

Benefits of Three Phase Equipment
This is the most reliable and least expensive equipment to purchase.  Your equipment will run more efficient and will last for many years.

Benefits of a True Three Phase Rotary Phase Converter
A true three phase rotary phase converter will provide you with balanced power loads that will last you for years to come.  

ACE Phase Converters
The leading manufacturer of a good quality phase converter. ACE Phase Converter has been in business for over 25 yrs offering a 10 year warranty on all of their phase converters.

Phase Converter Alternatives
Utility companies can provide you with three phase power but it will cost you dearly as they will have to completely change your power lines. You can re-locate to someplace that already provides three phase power.

VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES

 

Phase Inverters

 

Phase Inverters are also known to be called Variable Frequency Drives.  Phase inverters are basically known to control the speed of electric motors. They are designed to run some three phase motors on single phase supply but they in no way can power any other three phase load.  They can only handle one piece of equipment and no more than that.

The phase inverters can never be used with any mixed load.  They are very very sensitive and their operating life is very limited.  They don't last very long so in the long run they will end up costing you more money to run your equipment.  The phase inverter has been known to be damaged very easily from lightning and what we call voltage spikes.

When a phase inverter uses a sine wave it appears to dissect it or chop it up and in turn converts it into dissected three phase sine waves. Then we have what we call harmonic distortion which is not good for running your equipment.  If you are trying to produce three phase power from a single phase  by using a phase inverter your ability to have power output frequency is automatically going to be varied and then it cannot adjust the speed of the drive it was meant to be used with.   

Phase InvertersDue to the intricate sensitivity of the phase inverter, the cost to you as the consumer is much higher than a regular phase converter. And  because of the sensitivity in the phase inverter they tend to get damaged more often and there aren't many manufacturers that do repairs on them. So this means more cost again to you the consumer and your business may suffer due to down time. But most companies will tell you different.  So please beware if you are going to purchase a phase inverter.

With all the new technologies going on nowadays manufacturers are trying to produce much higher quality phase inverters but always make sure that they know what they are talking about. You don't want to end up not having the proper phase inverter to run your three phase power equipment and you definitely want it to run perfect so that you improve the efficiency of your business.  Ace Phase Converter can solve your three phase power solutions with a phase converter selection versus the phase inverters.  You will be guaranteed that you now have the three phase power that you need when selecting their products.
