Applications
Agriculture
American Rotary phase converters are built for the demands of agricultural equipment and applications. Often, farms are located in areas which do not have access to the 3-phase power grid. Paying the power company to bring 3-phase power onsite is expensive, and often cost-prohibitive. American Rotary phase converters provide reliable and cost-effective phase conversion for any agricultural setting.
Food Service
All of American Rotary phase converters have been designed to provide the precision output voltage needed for voltage sensitive applications such as pizza ovens, regular ovens, rotisseries and ice cream machines. This type of quality performance is ideal for Hobart mixers, wine presses, coffee grinders and other types of food processing machines.
Metalworking
American Rotary phase converters are perfectly suited for precision metalworking equipment such as wire EDM’s, CNC lathes, CNC mills, and other voltage-sensitive applications. General Metal Fabrication equipment such as grinders, welders, shears, brakes,and benders, are often run on American Rotary phase converters. When converting from single phase to three phase power,American Rotary phase converters produce balanced 3-phase output to accommodate both very small, lightly loaded machines and very large or heavily loaded machines...all with just one phase converter.
Industrial/Other
General Industrial Machinery accounts for so many different applications; they are too many to list! American Rotary phase converters convert single phase power to 3-phase power so any shop environment can take advantage of the tremendous advantages of 3-phase equipment, without being burdened by demand charges and expensive installation by the power company. American Rotary phase converters are quiet, easy to install, reliable, and robust enough to handle even the most demanding applications.
Machining
CNC APPLICATIONS - Computer numeric control (CNC) machines are commonly used in metal fabrication. CNC machines use electronic controls to control the speed and movement of multiple motors within the machine. CNC phase converters are phase converters that meet the requirements of 3-phase CNC applications by maintaining at least a +/-5% voltage balance. The voltage balance obtained with CNC phase converters is optimal for any application. The more balanced the output of the rotary phase converter is, the better a piece of equipment will operate and the longer it will last. Unbalanced voltages seen with non-CNC phase converters can be hard on the equipment. This can cause undesirable conditions - such as excess noise and poor performance. By balancing the output voltages, rotary CNC phase converters can be used on any type of equipment especially voltage sensitive equipment such as CNC machining centers, milling machines, lathes, PLC’s, EDM’s, and any other type of equipment that relies on balanced input power. You will want to verify that the rotary CNC phase converter is rated for the specific kilowatts (kW) that your equipment or machine requires.
Woodworking
American Rotary supplies phase converters for every facet of the woodworking industry! While a single phase converter can be used to operate a single piece of machinery, woodworkers often need to start and run multiple 3-phase machines (sometimes simultaneously), which also have varying load conditions. The balanced output of American Rotary phase converters allows for the safe operation of very small, lightly loaded 3-phase machinery on the same rotary 3-phase converter as larger, hard-starting equipment.
