 Convert-A-Phase, Inc., Single to Three Phase Converters
The phase converter uses the process of induction and capacitors to convert a third phase to be utilized by electrical equipment acceptable to phase converter power.
Phase conversion really means in the world of a rotary converter that an extra phase is produced in a two phase line that is usually represented by a 1 to 3 phase call out.
Phase conversion only takes place in the sense that one of the phases of the 1 to 3 phase system is connected to the manufactured phase by a capacitor to maintain a correct phase angle with the existing single phase system.

 Single Phasing and Phase Unbalance (Wisconsin Public Service Corporation)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This condition is known as "single-phasing." The loss of a single phase on a three-phase line may be due to a downed line or a blown pole top fuse on the utility system.
Loss of a single phase may also result from a single-phase overload condition causing one fuse to blow, or an equipment failure within the end-user's facility.
If after the overload devices on the energized phases isolate the motor, the motor is not then isolated from the lost phase, later attempting a restart on that single-phase supply will cause the motor to draw locked rotor current.

The phase converter will artificially generate the third leg of a three phase system from the two poles of a single phase system.
Phase A-B (Phase A to B) will be 240 volts, which is the line voltage of your house.
The output of the rotary phase converter is closer to being a true 3-phase source than the static converter.

With single phase the magnets and coils all line up with each other and are said to be in "phase".
In a single phase unit the coils are wound opposite of the first.
Also, in 3 phase the conductors need only be 75% the size of conductors for single phase for the same power output.

 Single Phase
Single speed or multi-speed motors can be designed with the top speed being 1625 RPM and the 1075 RPM being the most popular speed.
Then, as in other single phase motors with starting switches, when the rotor reaches approximately 75% to 80% of full speed, the starting switch OPENS, removing the capacitor and start winding from the circuit and allows the MAIN or running winding to complete the ramp up of speed to full operational RPM.
Other single phase motors have a rotor of cast aluminum alloy but the Repulsion Start motor has a winding with the ends of the coils attached to the commutator.

 Single-phase induction motors
A 90-degree electrical phase difference between the two windings is obtained by connecting the auxiliary winding in series with a capacitor and starting switch.
The electrical phase shift between the currents in the two windings is obtained by making the impedance of the windings unequal.
Although the ideal angular phase difference is 90° for maximum starting torque, the 30-degree phase difference still generates a rotating field.

 Single phase to three phase conversion (3 phase converters)
Single to 3 phase converters (misnamed 3 phase transformers) provide three phase power from a single phase supply.
For three phase converters: E-mail by clicking including delivery location so we can use an appropriate currency and estimate transport costs, power required in kW or HP and state if you need to derive single phase from one of the 3 phases and neutral, e.g.
Unlike 'static' phase converters, they are not limited to driving a single motor, nor do they limit the motor's torque or have a lower limit to output power.

Two methods of splitting out single phase from a three phase system are in common use.

 SINGLE to 3 PHASE CONVERTER
The single phase 220 VAC input is brought in on lines 1 and 2, labeled L1 and L2 in figure 1.
It has two main poles to switch the 220 VAC single phase lines and an auxiliary set of contacts used to latch the coil of the relay energized when the main contacts are closed.
For 220 VAC single phase systems this is 2 wires (a 2 pole switch), for 3 phase systems this is 3 wires (a 3 pole switch.) Since the phase converter is supplied with single phase power it can use a 2 pole disconnect or 2 of the 3 poles of a 3 pole switch.

 Single Phase Induction Motors
In the case of the single winding and a stationary rotor, the resultant torque field is stationary.
Most single phase motors are fitted with a centrifugal switch to disconnect the start winding once the motor is close to full speed.
The capacitor provides a phase shift to the current flowing in W1 and we therefore have a "two phase" motor while the switch is closed.

They must be sychronized in phase since if they were otherwise their voltages would buck or cancel (a little like connecting batteries in series but opposite directions).
This out of phase characteristic is nothing more than the result of your choice of reference for the waveforms - you are measuring "from" the mid-point "out toward" the two opposite polarities of the winding.
So you have a single phase (vs. some other multi-phase system like a closed delta three phase, etc.), split phase system (the secondary single phase winding is split in two, but still connected, parts by center tapping it).

 Single-Phase Power
The source of single-phase (10) power in all facilities is by generation from a single-phase generator or by utilization of one phase of a three-phase (30) power source.
Basically, each phase of the 30 distribution system is a single-phase generator electrically spaced 120 degrees from the other two; therefore, a 30 power source is convenient and practical to use as a source of single-phase power.
The choice of schemes, phase-to phase or phase-to­ground, allows several voltage options depending on whether the source three-phase system is a delta or wye configuration.

The split phase motor, also called an induction-start/induction-run motor, is probably the simplest single-phase motor made for industrial use, though somewhat limited.
The cap-start/induction-run motor is more expensive than a comparable split phase design because of the additional cost of the start capacitor.
