Power Phase Review Home
Review of the different
types of power phase available. Several different topics listed, all very
informative.
3 Phase Power
A common source of electrical
power transmission. This type of phase power is much more economical when
powering your equipment.
Single Phase Power
Most commonly used power for
residential and businesses that need power for lighting, heating and
cooling. This type of phase power does not supply a revolving magnetic
field.
2 Phase Power
2 Phase power is an early
20th century multiple phase that alternates the electric distribution
system. One of the advantages of 2 phase power was to start electric motors.
Three phase power has basically replaced 2 phase power.
3 Phase Power on Single Phase Power
Most residential and businesses
only offer single phase power. You can convert you single phase power to 3
phase power by using a phase converter.
Rotary Phase Converter
The rotary converter is the most widely used power converter
on the market today. The rotary converters convert your single phase
power to 3 phase power giving your equipment a smooth sine wave with little
or no maintenance for years to come.
Static Phase Converter
The static phase converter has
been around the longest in the industry but the uses on these are very
limited. They basically only jump start you three phase equipment for
a matter of seconds which can give you problems down the line.
Distribution of Three
Phase Power in the USA
Most residential and commercial areas are only supplied with
single phase power in the USA. There are some commercial areas that
have recently installed three phase power to places such as factories and
large office buildings.
Harmonic Distortion
Harmonic distortion has become
an increasing problem for machine and equipment operators. Harmonics can
reduce the life of the equipment and interrupt equipment productivity.

2 Phase
Power
SIMPLE SELF STARTING
Touching base on 2 phase
power in this section where you will become familiar with what it is and
how it is used and why it was designed. You will learn the alternatives to
2 phase power and why these alternatives are important when
powering you equipment and machinery.
Back in the 1890's all you were offered was single
phase power and the scientists came up with figuring out multiple phases
could be applied to single phase power, thus the 2 phase power was
implemented. The 2 phase power was generated with a 90 degree phase
difference between them and that is how it became to be known as the 2
phase power. The first 2 phase power machine was actually 2
single phase machines coupled together with the rotors set to each other so
they would achieve a quadrature phase relationship. Which in turn meant that
each generator was really feeding a separate 2-wire single phase circuit.
Since they were completely separated from each other there weren't any
interferences between the voltages and the current magnitudes of each other.
The 3 phase power had also been invented at this time but now the 2 phase
power was so much easier to understand than the 3 phase power. The 2
phase power became the easiest way to supply power to equipment that needed
more than single phase power. One of the largest pieces of equipment that
used the 2 phase power back in 1895 was Niagara Falls.
One of the benefits
of 2 phase power was that it allowed for a simple start on electric
motors. The 2 phase power revolving magnetic field that single phase
power does not have, allowed electric motors to implement torque from zero
motor speed with 2 phase power. The only problem with 2 phase power
is that with a three wire system it has a neutral current which
unfortunately is greater than the phase currents. We have found that all
motors aren't entirely linear and this in turn means that a motor running on
3 phase power tends to run more smoothly than a motor running on 2 phase
power. We also found that 3 phase power requires less conductor mass for
the same voltage and power than the 2 phase power does. We've
found that 2 phase power is almost extinct in today's market for your
powering needs but they are still found in certain control systems.
Therefore, this brings us back to 3 phase power and what kind of power
devices you will need to achieve the 3 phase power.
A true three phase rotary phase converter
is what most customers are more comfortable when trying to power their
equipment and machinery since 2 phase power is pretty much not used
anymore. A rotary phase converter supplies that 3 phase power to your single
phase power lines. The performance of your equipment will run much
more smoother with 3 phase power. Less harmonics and vibrations are
found with true three phase power than the 2 phase power.
