[@andrewdean4304]

I’ve Done this a lot and works well on most motors, obviously you won’t get same torque but for certain Machines you can get away with it

[@kareemshakiru4026]

Hello brother please can it work on 5hp motor? If yes for how many hours will it work a day?

[@MichaelMurray-w6f]

note there is no EARTH wire used on this motor , if you wire up any motor make sure a fully earthed cable connected to the frame of the motor.

[@mikegrant8490]

Commercially branded phase converters are available. Matching them up to the motor and wiring them up correctly is the key to getting the proper phase alignment. No loose capacitors hanging out, everything in a nice safe metal cabinet. NEC compliant.

[@blackbirdxx928]

Kinda easy to build. Never did anything like that before and I found d I instructions on the net...found a used 3 phase 7 hp motor for a hundred bucks, bought $50 worth of caps at a freght salvage, spent 4-5 hrs wiring and put it in a box...used it 2+ years on a 5hp lathe..it ran all day...got kind da lucky first try, 3 legs were within 4 volts...to buy the same deal cost a thou or more

[@rupert5390]

Never mind those a welder with a 415 wining and a motor twice the size you want to run will give you a converter

[@kingsleyazubuikeabonyi3612]

@@blackbirdxx928 could you please share details like the capacitor values and your connections. I could use your experience now pls.

[@subramaniamchandrasekar1397]

Some countries, the authorities switch off one of the 3 phases, so that 3 phase motor loads should not work during peak hours (6pm to 10pm). With a brief shutdown the phases from L1, L2, L3 becomes L1, L2, L2 at 6pm and after another brief shutdown at 10pm again becomes L1. L2, L3. Some used to connect a capacitor (10mfd per amp and 20% above supply voltage rating) as in the video and run it during the peak hours. Heavier loads are started with additional capacitor with a push button to start. Regards.

[@gyulavarga5349]

Az ilyen átkötés nagyon nagy teljesítmény csökkenést okoz! Egyik szerkezet sem fog megfelelően üzemelni ami 3 fázisra lett tervezve. Ehhez kell egy megfelelő nagyságú frekvencia generátor ami 1fázis->3fázis üzemet tud! Ez így a 60-as évek buherációja!

[@TheBalconyWorkspace]

How does this work? Well in delta connection, the paticular winding paralleled with power has rated voltage on it. but one winding can't provide rotating megnetic field to start the motor, so with a capacitor in series with the other two windings the current in these windings has a phase difference, which produces a phase-shifted magnetic flux. When this magnetic flux gets mixed with the oroginal magnetic flux generated by the power-line-paralleled winding, a rotating magnetic field appears in the rotor, which gives starting torque. For this part you can refer to why single phase motors need a capacitor. Due to winding current limitation, the motor can only provide about 1/3 of the original rated power. I'm not a pro but this explains things fine to me. Accroding to experiences 20-30uF for every kW is useable, the guideline is to ensure that no winding is overloading by monitoring phase current. Remember to only use non-polarized capacitor such as oil-paper capacitor or metal-film capacitor, do not use electrolytic capacitors or any polarized capacitors for the risk of cap explosion and fire., and the capacitor used should have a voltage rating no less than the power voltage.

[@Mark-iy3sd]

Yes correct, it will turn the motor but, you will only be able to drive a very light load. There is very little torque. There are only two ways to solve the problem; 1, buy a single phase motor or 2, buy a variable frequency drive.

[@EASYPLCTRAINING]

It's only idea ... capacitor will only shift phase 120 degree ... vfd is a perfect option

[@bradpeterson278]

Good and perfect thanks

[@Friskyrunner23]

Syscap is best capacitor brand in India. World class quality.

[@channelview8854]

By far the best way to do this in modern times is to purchase a variable frequency drive with single phase input. This phase converter stuff was great for 100 years until VFDs became available.

[@silentviewer.17yearsago65]

not everyone need or can afford a VFD

[@channelview8854]

@@silentviewer.17yearsago65 a plain one with few features doesn't cost much more than the capacitors and contactors needed for a phase converter. If there is a need for much starting torque, then an "idler motor" is needed. Costs could easily be more than the VFD. And if you need speed control or a specific acceleration profile, forget it.

[@TheElderOne2003]

@@silentviewer.17yearsago65 VFDs are stupid cheap these days. You may not need all the features but it will last longer than this cobble job.

[@d4z_l20svaQ12]

rotary phase converters are still great if you need to run large 30hp motors or multiple smaller motors at once. This is a good entry level project before building a rotary. Or a good way to test a motor at home.

[@mohdrodzimohamad1104]

Yes. I prefer to use single phase input to 3 phase output VFD. Motor performance much better.

What torque?

[@rupert5390]

There is none this guy is full of crap

[@skeetersaurus6249]

If VFD's are out of your 'price or availability range', depending on motor size; the best way is to simply build a rotary phase converter using a similar-sized single-phase motor...no (minimal) torque loss that way.

[@jboy4real]

[@royaddison7853]

That looks really good but why not just get a phase simulator and use it then your motor will operate properly

[@BirukWolde-mn6hi]

voltage rating for capacitor should be 250 or 400v?

[@SafeAndEffectiveTheySaid]

I believe the capacitive reactance must be as close as possible to the values of motor winding ohms resistance

[@johnsonobari1755]

Then we can obtain C, Rw=1/(2πfc), where Rw= motor winding resistance, and C is capacitance, f= source frequency, π=pi.

Just go and buy a Variable Frequency Drive of double the amps /ampacity rating of the motor. This capacitor thing is only a quick check and test for a motor with no load attached, and usually the motor will not have the rated horsepower, unlike with a VFD that has true three phase driven by power fets from it's DC bus. Needless to say, with a VFD the consumption and amperage required will be higher.
