5 HP 460V Rotary Phase Converter

Baldor Electric/Phase-A-MaticTM Design

5 HP, 460V Rotary Phase Converter, The rotary portion of our converter is proprietary, and custom-built to our specifications by Baldor Electric, one of the largest and most trusted motor manufacturers in the world, with warranty stations nationwide and worldwide. It is a true phase converter and not a modified electric motor, as most of our competitors use. Many years of testing, changing, and developing the converter in conjunction with Baldor’s engineers have produced a very simple and trouble-free converter with extremely low idle current and a relatively low noise level. Many of our customers confirm that our rotary converters are the quietest and most trouble-free available, compared to other converters on the market.

Simplicity of design

5 HP, 460V Rotary Phase Converter, Keeping the design exceptionally simple reduces the risk of electrical connection failure to almost zero, since these are some of the most common causes of failure. We use only soldered connections with no mechanical electrical connections like spade clips, terminals, or screws, which can vibrate loose or corrode over time. There are no start capacitors, relays, or contactors with connections that can come loose or arc and weld the contacts, causing failure of the contactor and the start capacitors, and perhaps even the rotary converter or your equipment. Because of this, we do not have circuit board failures caused by spikes generated by the magnetic contactors, as some of our competitors do.

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure)

The failure rate (MTBF) is so low that it’s almost impossible to determine. We find that within the first 12 months, approximately 1 in 150 people might have a problem, and usually within a few weeks or months. After the first 12 months, it might be one or less in 5,000 over a 30 year period. We continue to hear of our rotary converters that have been in service for 25 or 30 years, and that are still working flawlessly. It could go on for another 25 or 30 years. There is very little to go wrong with the rotary converter. For long, heavy starting loads, instant reversing, or momentarily overloaded motors (laundry extractors, paper cutters, air conditioners, hoists, lathes, Taiwanese, Chinese, & foreign motors, design “E” motors, etc.), contact the factory and/or refer to SIZING HELPS above.

Multiple Motor Applications

Due to the high in-rush current required to start a motor, which can be as much as 5 to 10 times the normal running current, most applications require sizing the horsepower (HP) of the rotary converter 50% larger, OR MORE than the HP of the largest motor, or any combination of motors started at the same time. If not running heavily loaded, the first motor starts generating additional 3-phase power back into the circuit. You can then run additional motors (not heavily loaded and not all started simultaneously). A maximum of up to 3 times the Rotary Converter’s HP rating can run simultaneously, if not heavily loaded and not started simultaneously. For example, a 3-horsepower converter could run motors totaling up to 9 horsepower under the specific conditions described here. See Installation.
