Morning Lads ,

I am in the market for a new Rotary Phase Converter    about 10HP    , I have been using a Transwave  3HP static for about 5 years  that I bought used and it has been great .


So do I go Transwave  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRANSWAVE-Rotary-Converter-10hp-7-5kW-Single-to-3-Three-Phase-240v-to-415v-/152197216754?hash=item236fa939f2:g:ZKMAAOSwbsBXp4Zl


Or  SMP  http://www.digi-phase.co.uk/digi.htm    anyone had dealing with these blokes ? 

Any other options out there ?  thoughts ?


Cheers Rob

I have one of the Transwaves indicated, but the next size down (7.5HP, 5.5KW). It powers my Warco WM40 ok. The only downside is the noise, but I suppose it depends on what you are used to.
I have now put it next door and made the control panel remote, so I can operate it from the mill vicinity. It does tend to walk round the floor a bit, so may have to secure its rubber feet somehow.

I also have a 5.5Hp unit. Yes the rotary transformer is noticeable above the noise of my Hardinge HLV-H :med: running but all the other machines drown it out.

By the way : That is a rotary transformer on the side not a motor being used to invent the missing third phase  :thumbup:


Inverters are ok for one motor but when some have three motors each  :loco:

I will second Chipenter's recommendation. No connection, just a satisfied customer. I bought a VFD drive from them a few years back and they were very helpful in guiding me through the set up for my application. They know their products inside out .
