ACE Phase Converters

ACE Phase Converters has been in business over 25 years and takes great pride in quality of their products and they highest level of service.  

US Phase Standard Review

Resources on phase converters and compares the different types including rotary, static, and digital phase converters. Find out which phase converter would work for your application.
 

The US Phase Converter Standards Organization - A non-profit organization that checks the quality of a manufactures 1 phase to 3 phase converters. If it is a quality phase converter it will pass our test receiving The U.S. Phase Converter Standards Organization seal of approval. Various 3 phase converters where tested in a lab and research industries. Then rated from 1 to 5 on each of the below categories.

Rotary Phase Converters scored the highest in all categories. A quality Rotary Phase Converter should operate 35 years and more. There are thousands of Rotary Phase Converters that have operated over 50 years. 

Static Phase Converters scored poorly in all categories. Static Phase Converters usually burn out their capacitors within 1 year or less. It can become very costly for companies who rely on operation of their three phase machinery. 

All of the 3 phase converters built from "build your own converter plans" scored poorly in all categories. Most of those phase converters built with these types of plans failed within a year and required more thinking and guessing. 

Digital Phase Converters scored poor to moderate in the categories. The sensitive nature of their electronics causes their lifespan to be shorter than companies may lead you to believe.   

Phase Inverters and VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) scored poor to moderate in all categories. The lifespan is much shorter then companies lead you to believe. If you need to supply a lot of 3 phase power then this is not appropriate for you.

CNC Rotary Phase Converters scored the highest in all categories when properly installed. They should usually operate 45 years and more. There are thousands that have operated over 50 years.

Rotary Phase Converter Technical Web Sites:

3 Phase Power Resource Site - Are you looking for information on 3 Phase Power? Want to know where, how and why "3 phase" power is used? Here at The 3 Phase Power Resource Site where here to help individuals and businesses answer questions on this topic. Also it is a not-for-profit organization.



Electric Power Transmission - is the process in delivery of 3 phase power from the generator equipment to the business or location for use. This includes the transmission over power lines.  

3 Phase Electrical Equipment - one of the most common class of 3 phase load is the 3 phase electric motor. There are a lot of benefits to using a 3-phase motor over a 1 phase electric motor.

Power Distribution - 3 phase electricity distribution is the process in the delivery of 3 phase power from the generation equipment to the business or location for use.

3 Phase Power Generating Phase Converters- often the advantages of three-phase power for motors and other 3 phase equipment make it worth while to convert single - phase to three phase power

Rotary Phase Converters - Some of the rotary phase converters manufactured today produce 3 phase power output that is better quality and will allow 3 phase equipment to run better and last longer that the 3 phase power from provided by a utility company.

Rotary Frequency Converter is designed to supply a source of reliable 50 or 60/400 hz power to critical loads. Output voltage and frequency and maintained within published specifications by internal control sources. Critical load power is protected from utility transients and brown outs under normal operation. 

Static Phase Converters

The Static Phase Converter was one of the earliest of phase converters. These phase converters are used for smaller motors and equipment.
 

Power Transformers are used to convert from one voltage to another, at significant power levels. A transformer comprises two or more coupled windings, and, in most cases, a magnetic core to concentrate magnetic flux. A voltage applied to one winding creates a time-varying magnetic flux in the core. 

Find an assortment of transformer types, including custom transformers, step-up transformers, step-down transformers, and important transformer manufacturers such as Acme, Hammond, TEMCo, and Jefferson. A transformer is an electrical device that transfers energy from one circuit to another by magnetic coupling.
