Single Phase To 3 Phase Converter
Thousands of Australians, particularly in rural Australia, do not have access to reliable 3 phase power.
Much Less Expensive
Most commercial machinery over a few kilowatts is designed to operate on 3 phase power. Reason being 3 phase motors are more reliable, much less expensive, more readily available, have a much better starting capability, run more efficiently (e.g. 90 compared to 70%), and last many years longer than their single phase counterparts. Single phase motors are expensive, inefficient and unreliable when compared to 3 phase motors.
Eliminates The Utility Charges
The requirement for larger machinery often means that 3 phase connection is the only option. In many cases, machine manufacturers do not offer single phase solutions. The Phaser3 power converter is the least expensive way to operate 3 phase equipment wherever utility 3 phase is unavailable or is too expensive to obtain. The Phaser3 power converter eliminates the utility charges to extend 3 phase power lines and the cost of new supply transformers and power metering.
The Phaser3 power converter also saves the cost of a new 3 phase switchboard and can usually be installed in less than an hour compared with weeks or even months for a utility line extension.
Phaser3’s can be used on a Single Wire Earth Return (SWER) power supplies. Standard model sizes range from 2.2KW to 37KW and suit any application. The only limiting factor is the size of the single phase supply available.
A Phaser3 power converter is inexpensive to own and operate, is quieter than generator alternatives and is fully portable. Therefore, the availability of a 3 phase power solution offers significantly more options for machining selection.
