Recommend Phase Converter Type

[Ravenvalor]

I am buying a phase converter for a 480-v, 3-phase, 5-hp refrigerated storage container. I have one person recommending an inverter type converter and another person recommending a rotary type converter. Does anyone have any experience with converters being used for refrigeration equipment with microprocessors?

Thank you,

If you need a phase converter for a load that needs to see a more correct 3 phase supply I would suggest:

I believe Roto-Phase has some high end units they offer for special needs.

Rotary type no doubt.

I'm not sure what you mean by "inverter type". Stay away from static phase converters though.

I probably did not use the correct terminology. The type of converter that manufacturers the third phase by converting AC power into DC which in turn creates a sinewave out of DC. Like frequency drives I believe. Is it PWM pulse width modulation?

Thanks,

The seller is recommending Phase Perfect. Phase-A-Matic out of California is recommending Rotary.

I would be inclined to go with what the seller recommends.
