Phase-A-Matic Rotary Converters are designed to supply
full running current
to a three-phase motor
normally providing it with full running torque. However, most
motors will draw five times their running current during start-up.
When used at its maximum HP rating the Rotary Converter cannot
deliver the full (5 times) starting current to the motor and
therefore cannot provide full starting torque.
For heavy start-up
loads a larger converter should be used.
NOTE: You can always use a larger
Rotary Converter than the HP of the motor. There is no minimum load
requirements for the Rotary Converters. Some customers will install
a Rotary Converter larger than they need to accommodate any future
additions to their equipment. Below are the minimum size
recommendations for various applications.
1.0 Motor Load Types
Type 1 Motor Load
May be used up to
the HP rating of the converter.*
*Many restrictions apply. Most
applications require sizing the converter a
minimum of 50% larger (see all load types). Contact
Phase-A-Matic, Inc. to
verify load type.
For instant reversing (as for rigid tapping), size
according to TYPE 3
LOADS
Type 2 Motor Load
These include domestic & European lathes without a clutch, some pumps, wheel balancers, paper cutters, flywheel driven equipment, air conditioners, blowers, woodworking band saws, dough mixers, meat grinders, motors rated below 1000 RPM, etc. Use a converter with HP rating of at least 50% larger than HP of the motor.
Type 3 Motor Load
These include Design "E" motors, Taiwanese, Chinese, Brazilian, Mexican motors, pumps starting under load, etc. Use a converter with twice the HP rating of the motor.
Type 4 Motor Load
These include laundry extractors, hoists, elevators, etc. For these start-up loads use a converter with three times the HP rating of the motor.
Type 5 Motor Load
Often hydraulic pumps, which come under a momentary load during use will be loaded well beyond their rated HP for the brief period of maximum PSI. Examples includes bailers, compactors, paper cutters, shears, pumps, etc. The HP of the converter must be at least as high as the actual HP developed by the motor.
To calculate the HP developed, you must first find the actual amperage drawn during maximum PSI. This is different than the rated amps of the motor.
Next you would divide the maximum amperage by 2.8 to find the actual HP being developed by the motor.
That figure is the minimum size of converter to be used. Example: A 10 HP compactor with a motor rated at 28 amps but draws a peak of 40 amps momentarily at maximum compression. Divide 40 by 2.8 = 14.3 HP being developed, use model R-15 Rotary Converter.
2.0 Restive Loads
Resistive loads must use the Rotary type converter, the Static type should never be used because it would be damaged.
There are two methods to determine the HP of the converter to be used.
One method is to take the amperage rating of the equipment and divide by 2.8 to find the equivalent HP. (ie: Rated @ 40 Amps; 40 divided by 2.8 = 14.3 HP) Use 15 HP Converter
The other method uses
the KW rating;
a. multiply KW rating times 1.34 (ie: 11 KW x 1.34 = 14.7
HP)
or
b. divide KW rating by .75 (ie: 11 KW divided by .75 =
14.7 HP)
Use 15 HP Rotary Converter
3.0 Computer, Electronic, Rectifier & Transformer Loads
Computer, Electronic,
Rectifier,
Transformer and electric equipment (welders, lasers, EDM
machines, CNC equipment, computers, plating rectifiers, power
supplies, etc.) can operate on the Rotary Converter. Use the
same formula as for resistive loads to determine the proper
size converter to use.
If a 4-wire wye input is required (all lines equal voltage to
ground), a three phase delta-to-wye isolation transformer
must be installed between the converter and the equipment to
change the Delta power to wye power.
4.0 Multiple Motor Loads
Due to the high in-rush current required to start a motor (5 to 10 times the normal running current), most applications require sizing the HP of the Rotary Converter 50% larger, or more, than the horsepower of the largest motor, or any combination of motors started at exactly the same time.
The first motor started, if not running heavily loaded, generates additional 3-phase power back into the circuit.
You can then run additional motors, provided they are not running heavily loaded and not all started at the same time.
A maximum of up to 3 times the HP rating of the Rotary Converter can run at the same time, if not heavily loaded, and not started simultaneously.
For example, a 30 HP Rotary Converter potentially could run motors totaling up to 90 HP. Contact factory @ 1-800-962-6976 for verification of sizing.
