Are American Rotary phase converters power factor corrected, and why is it important?
Yes. Power factor correction keeps the amount of current that the power company has to produce to power the rotary phase converter to a minimum, making our rotary phase converters less expensive to run in industrial areas where “real power” demand charges can occur. American Rotary phase converters utilize our own proprietary soft-start generator, which typically eliminates demand charges. • Can American Rotary phase converters handle heavy-duty and hard-starting loads? Yes! American Rotary phase converters are rated “Heavy-Duty”, which make them ideal for instant motor reversing, tapping, and other heavily loaded and hard starting applications. • Why do American Rotary phase converters have PowerGuardTM Protection? GENTEC’s PowerGuardTM technology keeps the rotary phase converter and other equipment downstream from the phase converter from restarting when power is restored after a brownout or blackout. This feature can be turned off for equipment that is wired to automatically start a
