IMPORTANT USAGE NOTES
· Do not use an oversized or undersized converter!
A larger converter will not give more power and may prevent startup, also a smaller converter will not work.
·
Static Phase Converters do not generate a true third phase. The motor must match the converter’s rated HP range for proper operation.
· If your machine has a motor starter/contactor, the contactor coil must be powered by L1 & L2 (230 VAC).
· Approved Uses Include:
o Lathes (non-clutch type)
o Milling machines
o Drilling machines
o Saws
o Other machinery designed for light to moderate duty
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS for COMPRESSORS, PUMPS, AND FANS:
For motors powering air compressors, blowers, water pumps, or hydraulic pumps:
· Reduce the motor’s pulley diameter by 1/3
or
· Use a motor that is 50% larger.
This ensures the motor starts under load and avoids overload or failure.
Reminder: Static Phase Converters will only provide approximately 60% of the motor’s rated horsepower.
