In today’s farms and industrial facilities, dependable power isn’t just a convenience; it’s a necessity.
From grain augers and woodworking CNCs to machine shops full of lathes and mills, reliable three-phase power keeps your equipment running smoothly and safely.
Yet, for many Canadian businesses and rural operators, access to three-phase utility power simply isn’t available, or it comes at an unreasonably high installation cost.
That’s where Toews Power steps in.
As a 100% Canadian-owned company, Toews Power specializes in providing high-performance phase converters that deliver smooth, balanced three-phase power from a single-phase supply.
With decades of combined experience, Toews Power’s team has become a trusted name among tradespeople, farmers, and industrial professionals across the country.
Their commitment is clear: offer phase converters that are efficient, durable, and easy to install.

The Challenge: Powering Three-Phase Equipment with Single-Phase Supply
Across much of Canada, especially in rural or remote areas, utility infrastructure often provides only single-phase power.
While this is adequate for lighting, small motors, and household use, it poses a significant challenge for running industrial-grade three-phase equipment.
Three-phase power provides smoother torque delivery and greater efficiency for electric motors.
It makes it essential for high-demand systems such as:
-
Air compressors and pumps
-
Milling machines and lathes
-
HVAC units
-
Grain dryers and conveyors
-
CNC routers and laser cutters
Installing new three-phase service lines can cost tens of thousands of dollars, depending on distance and load requirements (U.S. Department of Energy, 2023).
For many small businesses, this cost simply isn’t feasible.
This is where phase converters provide a smart, affordable solution.
By converting single-phase input into balanced three-phase output, they allow operators to power industrial equipment anywhere without the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.

The Toews Power Difference
When it comes to phase converters, not all systems are created equal.
What sets Toews Power apart is a combination of high-quality phase converter products, Canadian craftsmanship, and a relentless focus on customer support.
a. Engineered for Performance
Every phase converter that Toews Power offers is designed to handle demanding electrical loads smoothly and consistently.
Using high-quality components and precision balancing, these converters deliver clean, stable three-phase output that protects your motors and equipment from voltage imbalance or current spikes.
The result?
-
Reduced wear and tear on motors
-
Lower maintenance costs
-
Extended equipment lifespan
Toews Power’s converters are rigorously tested to ensure consistent performance under real-world load conditions; from machine shops running multiple motors simultaneously to farms operating in extreme weather environments.
b. Canadian Reliability
Proudly Canadian, Toews Power ensures that all phase converters it offers meet or exceed local electrical standards (referencing CSA Group Standards).
This ensures not just compliance, but confidence.
You know your converter is built for the electrical environment and conditions you actually work in.
Customers across Canada value the company’s personalized service, which includes:
-
Expert sizing advice to match your converter to your specific equipment
-
Guidance on installation and setup
-
Reliable after-sale support
That level of service is one reason why Toews Power has become the go-to phase converter distributor for tradespeople and small business owners who depend on consistent uptime.
c. Proven Efficiency & Power Balance
Phase balance is crucial for smooth motor operation. Toews Power’s systems are fine-tuned to deliver even voltage across all three legs.
This minimizes mechanical vibration and electrical stress.
This results in:
-
Quieter operation
-
Lower heat buildup
-
Improved motor efficiency
According to IEEE Power Engineering Society research, unbalanced phases can increase energy losses by 10–20%.
By maintaining near-perfect phase balance, Toews Power converters help save energy and reduce operational costs, while protecting expensive machinery from premature failure.
