When single-phase power is your only option, selecting the right phase converter for your three-phase elevator installation is crucial. It can lead to significant annual savings, which will continue to grow and compound as electricity costs rise.

Even a modest elevator installation, such as in a small residential apartment building, can use thousands of dollars per year in electricity while idle when powered with a rotary phase converter. Rotary converters can use power equivalent to a household oven -- when they're just idling! The Phase Perfect® has standby power usage more in line with an incandescent light bulb.

Elevators tend to be demanding applications for phase converters.  The motor operating the hydraulic pump is usually large, 15 HP and above.  It is also likely to operate near its full load amperage rating, requiring good voltage balance to avoid damage to the motor.  The motor may also require a large inrush current to start the motor under a load.

Our phase converters are the best product for elevator installations. We beat the competition in design, footprint, efficiency, power balance, standby losses and most importantly, WE SAVE YOU MONEY.

Other phase conversion options will have to be oversized to supply the starting current for this motor. There are usually other small loads in an elevator system such as motors to open and close the doors, lights, ventilation, etc. Even though the main motor runs only when the elevator is ascending, these other loads may require power at all times. Unless the power requirements of the system can be isolated and supplied by the single-phase system, the phase converter must be running at all times. A large rotary converter in this situation would waste significant energy.

A digital phase converter is probably the best choice among phase converters for operating elevators. The perfect voltage balance protects the main motor from damage and the converter is capable of supplying the large starting current requirements. The output voltage of a digital phase converter is a sine wave and is safe to power all the loads in the elevator system.  The converter consumes very little power when it is energized, so can be left on to provide continuous power to the system.

The Phase Perfect® is a game-changing solution that can power virtually any three-phase load, no matter where you're located. Whether you're in a remote rural setting, a commercial facility, or an industrial site without access to three-phase utility service, the Phase Perfect delivers reliable and balanced three-phase power—right where you need it.

Traditionally, bringing three-phase utility power to your building can cost tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention the time, permitting, and infrastructure upgrades required. With Phase Perfect, you can eliminate those costly installations and still get utility-grade, true three-phase power onsite at a fraction of the cost.

With over 20 years of dedicated engineering and refinement, Phase Technologies has developed one of the most robust and proven phase conversion technologies in the industry. Our solid-state phase converters contain no moving parts, which significantly reduces maintenance requirements and virtually eliminates common points of failure.

In HVAC applications where uptime, safety, and smooth performance are critical, our converters excel. The soft start capability built into every unit helps reduce the initial inrush current, minimizing mechanical stress on elevator motors, drive systems, and control components. This not only ensures smoother operation for passengers but also significantly extends the life of critical elevator hardware.
