BEFORE INSTALLATION

• A most important step to know.
• NEVER Start the phase converter with a load, this includes transformers.
• Make sure you have the incoming service to start the phase converter, call your electric company to verify the KVA size of the transformer, and that the KVA number should be larger than the HP of the idler motor.
• DO NOT use WIRE NUTS for any connection, use the bolt-down lugs. Check and make sure all connections even factory connections to the power block are secure, also recheck connections after a few weeks of using the converter.
• When powering up the unit, if the idler does NOT come up to FULL SPEED, then shut the phase converter down right away. If you don’t understand then call us or a qualified electrician. if you do not turn the unit off you have a chance to damage the idler motor that will not be covered under warranty.
• Must be installed by a licensed industrial electrician, our guidelines are not to supersede local and state laws.

Power requirements

• You will need to use a motor load-type breaker. NOT a quick blow or trip breaker.
• Sizing a breaker for a single machine with an inductive load (motors) doubles the amps size of the machine. For example, if the equipment pulls 20 amps use a 40 amp breaker.
• Sizing the equipment for multiple machines double the amp of the largest machine and add the the other machine that will run at the same time. Example; 20 AMP Lathe. 9 amp saw, 6 amp milling machine. 20 X 2 = 40 +9 + 6 = 45 amps, use the next standard size breaker which would be 50 Amps two pole breaker.
• Use the chart to make sure you don’t go over or under the Minimum and maximum size allowed. For rural areas increase the minimum size breaker by 20% Click on the next picture to see this chart.

WIRE AND BREAKER SIZES

SINGLE PHASE| 8 AWG Copper under 50 feet
IDLER MOTOR| 10 AWG COPPER
BREAKER/FUSE| 15 MIN/30 MAX

Mounting the Phase Converter Panel

Mount the enclosure first, to a non-vibrating surface, there are two options provided for mounting, next install the back plate with the four nuts provided. Mounting the phase converter panel near the breaker panel is recommended the larger wire is your single phase line, so that is best to keep it as short as possible. Every 50 feet you will need to increase the size of the single-phase wire.
