Reduced HP method
Using the Phase-A-Matic UL series Static Converter alone will produce approximately 2/3 normal HP. It runs MOTOR LOADS ONLY. This method is inexpensive, the most popular, provides excellent results on most machine tools and for numerous other uses. Motor speed is not changed. Most 2-speed motors, power feeds, coolant pumps, etc. will operate. Motor will instant reverse. There is nothing to change. All switch gear will work normally. Refers to wye-wound motors; delta-wound motors will run at 50% rated HP. Delta-wound motors are rarely made in the United States, but are occasionally found on some imported equipment, and particularly on German and Italian machines.
Full or close to full HP method
Make your own type of Rotary Converter using the Phase- A-matic ul series Static Converter in conjunction with a three-phase motor used as an idler motor can produce full or close to full HP. When running unloaded, the windings of the motor function as a rotary transformer or generator while consuming very little extra power. The idler motor needs to be a minimum of 50% larger than the largest motor that you want to run to accommodate the higher starting current.
