Rotary Phase Converter Wiring Diagram

You are looking for this information probably because you would like to have some wiring schematics to build your own Rotary Phase Converter or looking for arrangements other than what is suggested in your owner’s manual. I do recommend using wiring diagrams that you will find in your owner’s manual because they are specifically tailored to the model that you will be using.

If something there is not working out for you, it is better to give your manufacturer a call and figure it out together. If you are still interested in looking at some other wiring diagrams, I will divide this article into three sections:

• Owner’s manuals
• Wiring diagrams
• Installation diagrams and videos
• Rotary Phase Converter DIY

Please note that copies of wiring diagrams are usually available from your manufacturer and first, I will include a list of some owner’s manuals that I found online:

• E-Z phase. Phase Converter from American Rotary and this is the manual.
• AR General Duty. Another Rotary phase converter from American Rotary and I found a manual here.
• Phoenix phase converters. Here are some manuals and datasheets divided by the size of the converter.
• Cedarberg phase converters. Here is a manual from this company in PDF.
• North America Phase Converter Co. Some product specifications here. 
• North America Phase Converter Co. Here are some installation manuals: NAPCES Rotary Phase Converter Installation Manual and NAPCES Static Phase Converter Installation Manual

Any of these companies will be happy to clarify anything in their manual if you call them up. So, now, let’s get some 3-phase power!

Wiring diagrams

Here are some wiring diagrams of Rotary Phase Converters (RPC) that I found on the web. Once again, your product-specific wiring diagram should be included in your Rotary Phase Converter owner’s manual and it is the one that you should be using.

If you are trying to build one yourself, the following diagrams and videos may help you out. Don’t forget, that building a Rotary Phase Converter is DANGEROUS and you should only do so if you are competent at what you are doing.
