The rotary phase converter — my neighbor’s story of how it saved him money
Did you notice how a rotary phase converter will run a lot longer than the static converters that are supposed to do the same job? In my workshop this is certainly the case. And yesterday I had a visit from the business next to my workshop and guess what the owner was saying? He is getting four times as much life from his rotary phase converter than the static one he used to have. Think of the cost saving involved in that! There is no reason for me to think that I am getting a different performance from the rotary converts in my place. the design of the static converter is great for keeping costs down, but it is intrinsically faulty and parts wear out much faster than they do on the more complicated and powerful rotary converters. At least, this is my experience and that of my neighbor.
