When running unloaded, the windings of the motor function as a rotary transformer or generator while consuming very little extra power. The Idler Motor needs to be at least 50% larger than the largest motor that you want to run to accommodate the higher starting current. A good quality 3600 RPM, three-phase wye-wound, 220V motor is the best choice. 1800 RPM motors can be used on applications not heavily loaded. Used three-phase motors are inexpensive and readily available. When using this method, it is possible to run multiple machines as long as the idler motor is large enough to handle the largest load it would ever have at any one time. For instant reversing of the load motor, as in rigid tapping, the idler motor must be a minimum of twice the HP rating of the load motor, and perhaps more. The Static Converter is sized to the HP of the idler motor, not the load motor(s).

Phase-A-Matic 3 HP, 230V CNC PAC-3™ UL Certified, CNCPAC-3Why buy the Phase-A-Matic™, Inc. CNC Machines?Designed especially for three-phase CNC/PLC machines, including AC & DC motor drives, or any voltage-sensitive three-phase equipment operating from single-phase power source. Phase-A-Matic™ has been successfully providing phase converters since 1965, and for CNC machines from the time they were first introduced into service in the U.S.A.Description of CNC PACA Rotary Phase Converter, Voltage Stabilizer combination, when properly sized, provides the necessary voltage balance of close to + 5% or less between legs compared to standard three phase line voltage of + 10%. It also helps to keep the output voltage stable during peak loads, thus helping most CNC/PLC and other voltage sensitive equipment to operate properly.Power outputProvides balanced voltages necessary for dependable operation of voltage-sensitive equipment. True three-phase sine wave power at 120 degree phase angleConsult Factory for Sizing and Other VoltagesMost CNC/PLC machines require a CNC PAC™ 1-1/2 to 2 times larger than the spindle motor to accommodate the extra amps for starting, instant reversing, and for the servos, hydraulics, etc. Later model CNC/PLC machines are more technologically sophisticated, with up to 30,000+ RPM spindles, regenerative braking, etc. These may require a CNC PAC™ even larger. We have a large data bank from past applications experience to help you with these decisions.Sizing HelpsThe correct size Rotary Converter.is determined first. In most cases, the Voltage Stabilizer is required to be of the same HP rating, or size.

Call us at 1-800-962-6976.Reliability, quality and construction of the Phase-A-Matic™ Rotary Phase ConverterBaldor Electric/Phase-A-Matic™ Design and Quiet OperationThe rotary portion of our converter is proprietary, 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 has produced a very simple and trouble-free converter with extremely low idle current and low noise level. Many of our customers confirm that our rotary converters are the quietest and most trouble-free available.Simplicity of DesignKeeping 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 which 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.The RotorThe Phase-A-Matic™ failure rate is practically zero because the rotors are specifically designed and manufactured for rotary converter use. [see MTBF below] However, some of our competitors emphasize that rotors often fail. This is because they machine standard electric motors, modifying and thereby weakening standard electric motor rotors, which were not originally designed to be used as a phase converter.Testing Before ShipmentEvery converter is performance tested before shipment and assigned a serial number. These records are kept for review if any questions should ever arise about the performance specifications.MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure)Failure rate (MTBF) is so low it’s almost impossible to determine. We find that within the first 12 months approximately 1 in 150 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 which are still working flawlessly. It could go on to do another 25 or 30 years. There is very little to go wrong with the Rotary Converter.Warranty RepairsThe most likely warranty repair would be bearings or windings, which are very rare. This type of failure is much less than 1%, and if it is going to happen at all, most likely would occur within the first 12 months. Failures after that are extremely rare. See MTBF above.Call Phase-A-Matic™, Inc. for warranty repair stations in your area.Voltage Stabilizer:For use with Rotary Converter for 3-phase electronic equipment such as CNC/PLC machines, AC/DC drives, and all voltage-sensitive equipment. Provides the necessary voltage balance of close to +/- 5% or less between legs compared to standard 3-phase line voltage of +/- 10%. It also helps keep the output voltage stable during peak loads, thus helping CNC/PLC and other voltage-sensitive equipment to operate properly.The normal operating voltage of the Rotary Phase Converter is 208-230VAC. The output voltage of the Rotary Phase Converter is normally higher than the input voltage under no load and light load conditions. In applications with high single-phase voltage (greater than 230V), the no load or light load output voltage may be excessive. Some CNC/PLC equipment will not work properly at the higher output voltage.Supplied in a NEMA type 1 enclosure Intended for indoor use only, but can be placed in a rain-tight enclosure for use in wet or damp applications.

Phase-A-Matic 2 HP, 230V Voltage Stabilizer, UL Certified, VS-2Why buy the Phase-A-Matic, Inc. "VS" Voltage Stabilizer?IMPORTANT: Voltage Stabilizers are not to be used as a stand-alone product. They are meant to be paired only with our Rotary Converters and DO NOT allow you to regulate voltage beyond factory settings.For use with Rotary Converter for 3-phase electronic equipment such as CNC/PLC machines, AC/DC drives, and all voltage-sensitive equipment. Provides +/- 5% voltage stabilization.The normal operating voltage of the Rotary Phase Converter is 208-230VAC on the 220V “R” series Rotary Converter, and 460VAC on the 460V “RH” series Rotary Converter. The generated phase output voltage of the Rotary Phase Converter is normally higher than the input voltage under no load and light load conditions. In applications with high single-phase voltage (greater than 230V on the 220V “R” series, and greater than 460V on the 460V “RH” series), the no load or light load output voltage may be excessive. Some CNC/PLC equipment will not work properly at the higher output voltage.The Phase-A-Matic™ Voltage Stabilizer is designed to reduce this higher voltage to nearer the input voltage. It will also keep the output voltage stable during peak loads, thus helping CNC/PLC equipment and other voltage-sensitive equipment to operate properly. Running very small motors alone on a Rotary Converter that is 3 times larger (or more) may not reduce the output voltage sufficiently, in which case the smaller motor may run hot. For these cases, to reduce cost it may be possible to use a dedicated Voltage Stabilizer sized to the requirements of the problem motor or load only. Consult factory.Supplied in a NEMA type 1 enclosure with various sizes of knockouts.Intended for indoor use only in dry locations, but can be placed in a rain tight enclosure for use in wet or damp locations.Select a Voltage Stabilizer at least as large as the load it will operate. It does not have to be as large as the Rotary Phase Converter being used.
Phase-A-Matic 1/3 to 3/4 HP Static Phase Converter, UL Certified, Heavy Duty, UL-100HDSTARTS THREE-PHASE MOTORS FROM SINGLE-PHASE POWER TO RUN AT 2/3 RATED HP*IMPORTANT: Static Converters do not produce constant 3-phase power; they “jump-start” your 3-phase motor to run on single-phase power. Be sure to read all information provided.*Refers to wye-wound motors; delta-wound motors will run at 50% rated HP. Delta-wound motors are very rare in the USA, occasionally being found on some imported equipment, and are particularly found on German and Italian machines.Phase-A-Matic™ Static Phase Converters have been developed, tested, and thoroughly proven over a 46 year period demonstrating exceptionally high reliability and long life. These converters are the workhorse of many commercial uses and multitudes of home shop machines.LIFE EXPECTANCYThe Static Converter has been in use for approximately 52 years and has already proven itself to be extremely reliable when properly applied. Phase-A-Matic™ was recently able to purchase back the first one that was ever sold, and it is still working fine. It is reasonable to expect the converter to be in good working condition and service for 20 or 30 years or more. We continue to hear back from customers who have them still running their equipment faithfully after 20 years and more. Uses include: Lathes, Mills, Grinders, Drills, Saws, Metalworking and Woodworking Equipment, Printing Equipment, Sewing Machines, Garbage Disposals, Food Processing Equipment, Meat Grinders, Food Mixers and Blenders, Conveyer Belts, and numerous other uses.METHOD #1Using the Phase-A-Matic™ Static Converter only will produce approximately 2/3 normal HP.* This method is inexpensive, the most popular, provides excellent results on most machines tools and numerous other uses. Motor speed is not changed. Most two-speed motors, power feeds, coolant pumps, etc., will operate normally. Motor will instant reverse. There is nothing to change. All switch gear will work normally. *Refers to wye-wound motors; delta-wound motors will run at 50% rated HP. Delta-wound motors are very rare in the USA, occasionally being found on some imported equipment, and are particularly found on German and Italian machines.METHOD #2FOR FULL OR CLOSE TO FULL HP ~~ Configure as a rotary converter using Phase-A-Matic™ static unit ~~ Full or close to full HP can usually be obtained by running a three-phase motor and Phase-A-Matic™ Static Converter combination as shown in the Installation Instructions. When running unloaded, the windings of the motor function as a rotary transformer or generator while consuming very little extra power. The Idler Motor needs to be at least 50% larger than the largest motor that you want to run to accommodate the higher starting current. A good quality 3600 RPM, three-phase wye-wound, 220V motor is the best choice. 1800 RPM motors can be used on applications not heavily loaded. Used three-phase motors are inexpensive and readily available. When using this method, it is possible to run multiple machines as long as the idler motor is large enough to handle the largest load it would ever have at any one time. For instant reversing of the load motor, as in rigid tapping, the idler motor must be a minimum of twice the HP rating of the load motor, and perhaps more. The Static Converter is sized to the HP of the idler motor, not the load motor(s).
Phase-A-Matic 2 HP, 230V Rotary Phase Converter, UL Certified, R-2Baldor Electric/Phase-A-Matic™ DesignBaldor Electric/Phase-A-Matic™ Design The rotary portion of our converter is proprietary, 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 has produced a very simple and trouble-free converter with extremely low idle current and low noise level. Many of our customers confirm that our rotary converters are the quietest and most trouble-free available.Simplicity of designKeeping 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 which 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.The RotorThe Phase-A-Matic™ failure rate is practically zero because the rotors are specifically designed and manufactured for rotary converter use. However, some of our competitors emphasize that rotors often fail. This is because they machine standard electric motors, modifying and thereby weakening standard electric motor rotors, which were not originally designed to be used as a phase converter.Testing before shipmentEvery converter is performance tested before shipment and assigned a serial number. These records are kept for review if any questions should ever arise about the performance specifications.Warranty RepairsThe most likely warranty repair would be bearings or windings, which are very rare. This type of failure is much less than 1%, and if it is going to happen at all, most likely would occur within the first 12 months. Failures after that are extremely rare. See MTBF below.MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure)Failure rate (MTBF) is so low it’s almost impossible to determine. We find that within the first 12 months approximately 1 in 150 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 which are still working flawlessly. It could go on to do another 25 or 30 years. There is very little to go wrong with the Rotary Converter.Multiple Motor ApplicationsDue 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 exactly the same time. The first motor started, IF NOT RUNNING HEAVILY LOADED, generates additional 3-phase power back into the circuit. You can then run additional motors (not heavily loaded and not all started at the same time). A maximum of up to 3 times the HP rating of the Rotary Converter can run at the same time, 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.

Phase-A-Matic 19 KW, 460V Rotary Phase Converter, RH30-19KWWhy buy the Phase-A-Matic, Inc. "KW" Rotary Phase Converter?Baldor Electric/PHASE-A-MATIC™ DesignWhere waterproofing, guarding against salt water corrosion, or any other special requirement is needed, Phase-A-Matic will provide a quote. Custom orders require a minimum of 8-9 weeks lead time.Baldor Electric/Phase-A-Matic DesignThe rotary portion of our converter is proprietary, 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 has produced a very simple and trouble-free converter with extremely low idle current and low noise level. Many of our customers confirm that our rotary converters are the quietest and most trouble-free available.Simplicity of DesignKeeping 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 which 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.The RotorThe PHASE-A-MATIC™ failure rate is practically zero because the rotors are specifically designed and manufactured for rotary converter use. However, some of our competitors emphasize that rotors often fail. This is because they machine standard electric motors, modifying and thereby weakening standard electric motor rotors, which were not originally designed to be used as a phase converter.Testing Before ShipmentEvery converter is performance tested before shipment and assigned a serial number. These records are kept for review if any questions should ever arise about the performance specifications.Warranty RepairsThe most likely warranty repair would be bearings or windings, which are very rare. This type of failure is much less than 1%, and if it is going to happen at all, most likely would occur within the first 12 months. Failures after that are extremely rare. See MTBF belowMTBF (Mean Time Between Failure)Failure rate (MTBF) is so low it’s almost impossible to determine. We find that within the first 12 months approximately 1 in 150 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 which are still working flawlessly. It could go on to do another 25 or 30 years. There is very little to go wrong with the Rotary Converter.Call Phase-A-Matic, Inc. for warranty repair stations in your area.Uses include: metalworking and woodworking equipment, farm/agricultural equipment, pumps, compressors, refrigeration, elevators, printing machines, rectifiers, lasers, radar, EDM machines, MRI, tanning booths, transmitters, welders, conveyors, hydraulic pumps, flywheels, ovens, dough mixers, laundry machines, and virtually every type of 3-phase machine, including CNC/PLC equipment, when used with the PHASE-A-MATIC™ Voltage Stabilizer.Sizing HelpsRefer to Application Notes – additionally available in PDF form as RTNKW.pdf.

There is very little to go wrong with the Rotary Converter.Multiple Motor ApplicationsDue 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 exactly the same time. The first motor started, IF NOT RUNNING HEAVILY LOADED, generates additional 3-phase power back into the circuit. You can then run additional motors (not heavily loaded and not all started at the same time). A maximum of up to 3 times the HP rating of the Rotary Converter can run at the same time, 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.

Provides +/- 5% voltage stabilization.The normal operating voltage of the Rotary Phase Converter is 208-230VAC on the 220V “R” series Rotary Converter, and 460VAC on the 460V “RH” series Rotary Converter. The generated phase output voltage of the Rotary Phase Converter is normally higher than the input voltage under no load and light load conditions. In applications with high single-phase voltage (greater than 230V on the 220V “R” series, and greater than 460V on the 460V “RH” series), the no load or light load output voltage may be excessive. Some CNC/PLC equipment will not work properly at the higher output voltage.The Phase-A-Matic™ Voltage Stabilizer is designed to reduce this higher voltage to nearer the input voltage. It will also keep the output voltage stable during peak loads, thus helping CNC/PLC equipment and other voltage-sensitive equipment to operate properly. Running very small motors alone on a Rotary Converter that is 3 times larger (or more) may not reduce the output voltage sufficiently, in which case the smaller motor may run hot. For these cases, to reduce cost it may be possible to use a dedicated Voltage Stabilizer sized to the requirements of the problem motor or load only.
