I will lay out the entire converter on a large sheet of plywood so you can easily see. The majority of phase converters are used to produce three phase electric power from a single phase source thus allowing the operation of three phase equipment at a site that only has single phase electrical service.

The three phase output is 240 volts and works great for all my machines except for my 2d kearney trecker rotary head mill. I have three 3 phase machines i use a heavy duty phase a matic converter 8 12 hp to start a 10 hp 3 phase motor behind the shop once the 10 hp motor starts and the phase a matic buzzes i turn off the phase a matic and then have a panel boxe with breakers for each machine. A novel static single phase to three phase converter employing four thyristors two fixed reactors and a fixed capacitor is presented. Up tp 93 off.

Each converter has its own relay so that it will not be back fed when only running a single converter. This part is the heart of the subject.

Parts list and notes for making a 10 hp 240v single phase to 240v 3 phase converter. A simple circuit diagram of contactor with three phase motor. You may also read. From this relay cabinet the power is distributed to a three phase load center with breakers for all my equipment.

Phase converters are used where three phase service is not. Three ways to run a three phase motor on single phase and the pro s and con s of each method 065 duration. This is part one of a three video series on building a phase converter. A phase converter is a device that converts electric power provided as single phase to multiple phase or vice versa.

I was going through my old cad files and found this schematic i made a while back. I figured that with a good write up to explain how it works to back it up it could prove useful for anyone who wanted to run three phase motors or build a balanced phase rotary converter for running three phase powered equipment off of a single phase source.
