Woodworking
American Rotary supplies phase converters for every facet of the woodworking industry! While a single phase converter can be used to operate a single piece of machinery, woodworkers often need to start and run multiple 3-phase machines (sometimes simultaneously), which also have varying load conditions. The balanced output of American Rotary phase converters allows for the safe operation of very small, lightly loaded 3-phase machinery on the same rotary 3-phase converter as larger, hard-starting equipment.
Phase Converter Wizard
When sizing for a Rotary Phase Converter it is best to size with a 2:1 ratio to ensure you will have enough starting capacity. This sizing guideline will protect your equipment long term and ensure it performs at its highest efficiency.
Try out our Phase Converter Wizard by selecting your equipment type and inputting its total HP rating to see which converter series and size would be best for you.

High Quality Parts
Our Phase Converters are made in Wisconsin, using only the highest quality parts. Our Wisconsin-based team includes in-house R&D, engineering, manufacturing, tech support and customer service. We are dedicated to delivering high quality products and great service to our customers.
American Rotary phase converters come with easy to use installation procedures. A step-by-step installation pictorial is available on our website and we have a You Tube video that outlines the ease of installation. In addition, you always have access to our free industry leading technical support.
Built Tough to Last in the Toughest Conditions
Our exclusive integrated soft-start VIT (Variable Impedance Technology) is built directly into the idler/generator and drastically reduces inrush (starting) current. The result is reliable starts, every time, with no voltage drop that can dim your neighbors’ lights.
American Rotary phase converters are rated to run single or multiple motor loads. This capacity is only limited by the single phase current available. Our phase converters are precision balanced from a “no-load” condition so you don’t need to worry about running a small motor together with larger ones using the same phase converter. More importantly, our phase converters can operate with no load engaged for an indefinite period of time, so you don’t have to worry about damaging our units while your equipment loads are not operating. Our engineering department can help determine the right size phase converter for your needs.
