CONVERTERS

THE STATIC CONVERTER

A phase converter is a cheap alternative to run 3-phase electric motors when a 3-phase 415-volt mains supply is not available. The converter provides an artificial means by which a 3-phase motor can be operated from a single-phase 240-volt supply.

N.B. All converters feature a built-in ammeter enabling the operator to see at a glance the level of the current drawn from the single-phase supply. An output point via a three-phase and earth socket (or three-phase, neutral and earth where applicable) conforming to BS 4343 and rated at either 16A or 32A.
