Single to Three

I am going to let you know about phases.
This all seems a bit silly in some cases because we don't all understand how electricity works and I must admit that I am close to one of those, so I join you!
However I have spent a great deal of time repairing Wood Working Machinery & Electrical Components, This includes Single Phase, Three Phase & 110 Voltage as well as 240v In most cases we can all to a certain degree re-wire something be-it a plug or a socket on the wall but when it comes down to the above then we ask our selves what is the difference?
Well it boils down to this. It is not not a lot but we have to undersatnd that it's not the Voltage that kills you! It's The Amperage!

This I will cover in a further addition to this issue.
PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
BUT WILL SEEK QUALIFIED ADVICE ON YOU'RE BEHALF

My main concern is for those of you that only have single phase box standard supply and need more power. We have all purchased the lowest price tools and lost money in the long run because they don't last.

This applies to Single Phase compared to Three Phase. A single phase motor will always cost more in comparison to three phase. Why? Because, A Three Phase Power supply will cost you an arm and a leg to install.
That is of course if you're supplier will install it or the local council allow it! Don't forget we are now talking industrial.
So as not to confuse you, A single phase motor is more expensive than a Three phase motor to purchase, single phase has less power and will reduce productivity and increase power consumption and electricity bills.

But if we could alleviate the expense of Three phase installation and pay a Qualified electrician to install you're new phase changer and pay less than half the price to install a three phase supply, I know where my Money would go!!!

I have sold Phase Converters / Phase Changers in Australia where they originated and through the U.K. with great results
