GENTEC's exclusive motor-integrated solid state soft-start is built directly into the motor/generator housing.
With an 83% reduction
in inrush (starting) current, our custom
GENTEC/Baldor motor generator was granted a Soft-Start rating. |

American Rotary's built-in motor starter and automatic controls. The converter will start automatically at the touch of the "START" button and is conveniently pre-wired for remote start and time delay.
There is no need to buy an external starter. Timing function
available for automatic controls. |

Each
converter is balanced under load and no-load conditions to meet the requirements of most CNC applications.
Please speak with our technicians when sizing a converter for a CNC
application. Toll Free 1-888-7GENTEC. |

Power
factor correction keeps the amount of current that the power company
has to produce to power the converter to a minimum, making our phase
converters less expensive to run in industrial areas where
"real power" demand charges can occur. American
Rotary's proprietary soft-start generator typically eliminates
demand charges. |
|
|
GENTEC American Rotary converters are rated "Heavy-Duty" which make them ideal for instant motor reversing, tapping, and other heavily loaded and hard starting applications. |
|
|
GENTEC's PowerGuardTM
technology keeps the converter and other equipment down stream, from restarting when power
is restored. This feature can be turned off for equipment that
is wired to automatically start after the converter. |
|
|
The motor generator can be mounted in a separate room or structure away from the control panel, if desired. The control panel can also be conveniently mounted alongside existing service. |
|
|
Busbars are easily accessible and safely located in a roomy compartment just beneath the firewall. This simple design eliminates messy wiring and cluttered conduit boxes.

GENTEC
American Rotary offers UL Listed rotary phase converters and digital phase
converters. Please visit our ebay store for selection, or call

For
operational safety, when the converter is powered on and the LED is
illuminated, the "STOP" button is raised for quick shut-off.

GENTEC phase converters are capable of running multiple motor loads, limited
only by the current available. Because every GENTEC American Rotary phase converter is balanced from a no-load condition, there is no minimum as to the size of a motor that can
safely be run with any of our rotary converters.
Please call toll free 1-888-743-6832 for assistance. |

GENTEC defines efficiency in terms of "real power"consumption or more importantly, what the power company charges. The national average is $.08/kWhour.
American Rotary's published "Idle Power" reflects this power. Simply measuring the current will not reflect an accurate current because of the reactive (or re-circulating) current in the system. Our data has been obtained by actual meter tests and should be accurate for most power company meters.
Please refer to the following equation and example: |
|
|
Cost
To Run/hr = Real Power (kW) x ($/kWhour)
Example: American Rotary 10HP Soft-Start CNC Balanced/All Purpose Idle
Power = .89kW (unbalanced would nearly double to 1.4kW!) Cost To
Run = .89kW x $.08/kWhour = $.07/hour at idle. Note: When a
machine load is applied to the converter, the idle power shifts
slightly, but is considered insignificant. |
