Elimia heavy duty rotary phase converter 5HP 5 hp
This is for a brand new 5 HP Elimia phase converter. Converts nominal 240 VAC single phase to 240 VAC three phase.
Unit was designed and built using all high quality heavy duty components.
This unit has a heavy duty wall mount control panel and liquidtight conduit between the panel and motor. Wall mounting the control allows for better visibility of the status lights on the face of the panel.
This unit is equipped with a power-blink safety feature that prevents faulty starting during intermitten main power failures or power blinks to your shop. In the event your mains power drops out for even a second the converter powers down. This prevents the converter from coming back on and trying to start under load.
Heart of the converter is the heavy duty Reliance cast iron motor. This is a heavy duty TEFC motor with a service factor of 1.15. Nema frame size 184T. RPM 3475. Shaft has been removed for safety.
The controls include heavy duty Tyco contactors. The unit is equipped with electronic starting. Others use a variety of starting methods but this technique forces the the starting capacitors out of the circuit at just the right time to keep them cool.
The controls include oil filled heavy duty capacitors. The capacitors are not glue in the box. They are mounted with custom metal hold-downs. Connections to the capacitors and many other connections are crimped and soldered.
This a dual capacitor design that uses both start capacitors and run capacitors. Run capacitors are used on both legs of the single phase to achieve a realistic balanced 3rd phase.
This converter is balanced to run equipment from 1/4 HP to 4 HP and provide phase matched voltages and angles within 5%. This means that it can run sensitive voltage dependent equipment, safely and consistantly.
Maximum output is 3.7 KW. Use your equipment ratings full load Amperage multiplied by your nominal 220/240 input voltage to determine.
This unit can provide up to 20 Amps for starting your equipment.

We ran numerous test on each converter with various starting and running designs under various loads. The input voltage at our shop is pretty large for nominal 240 VAC. It usually runs around 238-245 VAC. Yours may range from 218 - 245 VAC give or take.
You will need to provide wiring from a 240 Volt double pole breaker to this unit. You will need to run #10 or larger wire depending on your needs, 10 gauge is ok for use with a 30 Amp DP breaker. The controls for the converter are 120 Volt. You will need to run a 120 Volt supply as well unless you can use one leg of the 240 VAC. If this is done the 240 VAC will need to be provided with two hot wires, a neutral and a ground. Otherwise the 120 VAC is required.
Control panel weighs 18 pounds.
We are offering a 10 year parts warranty.
