Phase-A-Matic 10 HP, 230V WeatherPhase™, RWP-10

Why buy the Phase-A-Matic, Inc. Rotary Converter?

Reliability, quality and buildion of the PHASE-A-MATIC “KW” Rotary Phase Converter: Crafted for outdoor utilize and areas of high moisture. WeatherPhase™ features rating: Intent of USCG 259 and IEEE 45 (Stainless steel nameplate is stamped USCG 259, Ieee45). Treatment of windings and mechanical parts are for applications outdoors or in areas of high moisture. Motors are double dipped and baked in standard insulation varnish. Pipe tap lead outlet in conduit box. IP Preserveion IP55. It is crucial to note this converter is not waterproof. This converter is not intended to guard against salt water corrosion. When utilized outdoors, we recommend installing inside an enclosure with ample ventilation.

Tailored Rotary Phase Converters:

Where waterproofing, guarding against salt water corrosion, or any other special requirement is needed, Phase-A-Matic will provide a quote. Tailored orders require a minimum of 8-9 weeks lead time.

Baldor Electric/Phase-A-Matic Design

The rotary portion of our converter is proprietary, custom built to our specifications by Baldor Electric, one of the largest and most trusted motor manufacturers in the world, with warranty stations nationwide and worldwide. It is a true phase converter and not a modified electric motor as most of our competitors utilize. Many years of testing, changing and advanceing the converter in conjunction with Baldor’s engineers has produced a very easy and trouble-free converter with extremely low idle current and low noise level. Many of our customers confirm that our rotary converters are the quietest and most trouble-free available.

Simplicity of Design

Keeping the design exceptionally easy reduces the risk of electrical connection failure to almost zero since these are some of the most common cautilizes of failure. We utilize only soldered connections with no mechanical electrical connections like spade clips, terminals or screws which can vibrate loose or corrode over time. There are no start capacitors, relays or contactors with connections which can come loose or arc and weld the contacts causing failure of the contactor and the start capacitors, and perhaps even the rotary converter or your equipment. Becautilize of this we do not have circuit board failures cautilized by spikes generated by the magnetic contactors as some of our competitors do.

The Rotor

The PHASE-A-MATIC failure rate is practically zero becautilize the rotors are specifically designed and manufactured for rotary converter utilize. However, some of our competitors emphasize that rotors often fail. This is becautilize they machine standard electric motors, modifying and thereby weakening standard electric motor rotors, which were not originally designed to be utilized as a phase converter.

Testing Before Shipment

Every converter is performance tested before shipment and assigned a serial number. These records are kept for review if any questions should ever arise about the performance specifications.

Warranty Repairs

The most likely warranty repair would be bearings or windings, which are very rare. This type of failure is much less than 1%, and if it is going to happen at all, most likely would occur within the first 12 months. Failures after that are extremely rare. See MTBF below.

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure)

ailure rate (MTBF) is so low it’s almost impossible to decide. We discover that within the first 12 months approximately 1 in 150 might have a issue, and usually within a few weeks or months. After the first 12 months, it might be one or less in 5,000 over a 30 year period. We continue to hear of our Rotary Converters that have been in service for 25 or 30 years, and which are still working flawlessly. It could go on to do another 25 or 30 years. There is very little to go wrong with the Rotary Converter.
