Setting Standards for 3 Phase Converters Manufactured and Sold in the U.S.

The U.S. Phase Converter Standards Organization is dedicated to serving U.S. industrial and non-industrial consumers to encourage the manufacture of 1 phase to 3 phase converters which produce quality balanced 3 phase power that will: A) be safe for the equipment (not damage 3 phase machines or machinery), B) ensure the safety of the operators and, C) have a long usability life.  Quality phase converters will meet these basic standards and will be listed with the U.S. Phase Converter Standards Organization Seal of Approval.

Simply put, our purpose is two-fold; 1) To educate the public about the benefits and realities of different types of phase converters, 2) To help encourage manufactures to produce properly built high quality 1 phase to 3 phase converters. 

3 Phase Converter Standards -

A Quality 3 Phase Converter Will;
Be Safe to Operator
Be Industrial Quality - Lasting Over 5 Years
Produce True Balanced 3 Phase Power 
Produce Safe 3 Phase Power That Will Not Damage Equipment 

Investigating and setting the rating standards for different phase converter types and product quality allows for a clear comparison of these products.  Many veteran 3 phase specialists have both tested various 3 phase converters in the lab, and researched industry experiences with these same technologies in the field, to give an accurate rating of the technology used in the phase converter.  These ratings are published here to educate and share knowledge comparing various 3 phase converter types and technologies.  Each product will have a rating from 1 to 5 on each of the above 4 categories.  Veteran electrical researchers not only tested static and rotary phase converter models, but they also tested several the other digital, VFD inverter and CNC Phase Converter models.  We also put to the test a variety of plans for "how to build your own phase converter", and a variety of kits.  Read below in further detail about our phase converter research.
