Have
you ever wanted to run a three phase powered machine, but you
only have a single phase power supply available?
The Phase-Changer three phase converter changes a 240V or 480V
single phase supply into an equivalent 415V 3-phase output, which
is just like a utility 3 phase supply. It will efficiently
operate any 3 phase equipment.

site relates to typical Australian voltages of 240V single phase
& 415V 3-phase. These converters are also suitable for
220V/380V and 230V/400V supplies as found in many parts of the
world.) |

ANY MACHINE, ANY APPLICATION
Provided
you have adequate single phase power available, there is
always a Phase-Changer 3 phase converter solution that will
reliably power any 3 phase machine. Workshop equipment, welders,
compressors, pumps, computer controlled machines, air
conditioners, in fact anything that requires 3
phase power can be operated by a Phase-Changer converter. Even
big "hard to start" loads will start & run reliably
with power from a Phase- Changer.
Your local electrician simply connects the input to your single
phase supply via a new circuit breaker. And just like standard
utility 3 phase, the output is connected to your machinery - and
that's it - you're ready to go!
Compare the cost of a Phase-Changer to the cost of connecting to
a utility power supply, and in most cases the Phase-Changer will
cost far less. And you own it. It can be relocated or resold if
your circumstances ever change.

ALL THE BENEFITS OF 3-PHASE POWER
WITHOUT THE COST:
Most commercial machinery over a few kilowatts is designed to
operate on 3 phase power. That's because 3 phase motors are
more reliable, much less expensive, more readily available, have
a much better starting capability, run more efficiently (eg. 90%
compared to 70%), and last many years longer than their single
phase counterparts.
Simply put, single phase motors are expensive, inefficient and
unreliable when compared to a 3 phase motor. 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. Having 3 phase power available opens up a whole
new world of alternatives to the machinery shopper. A large
variety of 3 phase machinery is available from both new and used
machinery dealers - and it is usually cheaper and more readily
available. |

THE REAL COST ALTERNATIVE TO UTILITY
3-PHASE
The Phase-Changer is simply the least expensive way to operate 3
phase equipment wherever utility 3 phase is unavailable or is too
expensive to obtain. It eliminates the utility charges to extend
3 phase power lines and the cost of new supply transformers and
power metering. It 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.
Phase-Changers can be used on 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 Phase-Changer is much less
costly than a generator to own and operate and it is much
quieter. Phase-Changers are 'stand alone' converters that
you own and can be relocated or sold if you ever decide to move
to a new property.
POWER DISPLAY NOW
STANDARD
All multistage Phase-Changers are now fitted
with a digital display which indicates the power level that your
Phase-Changer is running at, as a numerical number from 0 through
to 8.
0 will be indicated at idle, through to 7 depending on the size
of the connected load.A 'Hard Start' is an 8.

Currently we manufacture for 50Hz countries only, with 60Hz
systems to follow in the near future.
Converters are customised for local market requirements. This
includes voltage, plug connections, wire colours,
warranty and labeling. Required approvals (EMC and Safety)
are valid for each individual market. Pictures shown
are indicative only, and the final assembly may vary slightly to
suit your local requirements.
