How to Size PHASEMAKERS PHASEMAKERS are sized by the horsepower they are designesd to start and by the line voltage they are designed to run on. For example: an NE 5 220 is designed to start a 5 horsepower motor and run on 220 volts (208v to 240v). PHASEMAKERS are capable of running 3 timrs what they can start, so an NE 5 220 can run 15 hp as long as largest starting doesn't exceed 5 hp. Kilowatt (kw) 1 kw = 1000 watts 746w = 1hp. Example: 10kw = 10000w divided 746 = 13.40 hp always go up to next size PHASEMAKER an NE 15 220 is needed.

Optional Equipment for PHASEMAKERS
  • Hard Start Kit - For heavy start up loads such as compressors
  • Start/stop Stations - Buid in push button legal replacement of mag starter
  • Nema 3R Eclosure - Raintight or "outside rated"
  • Voltage Changes - PHASEMAKERS can be 220v or 440v
  • Stabilizing Transformer - For voltage sensitive "CNC" type machines
Hooking Up PHASEMAKERS Hooking up a PHASEMAKERS is very similar to hooking up an electric motot. the size of vreaker, wire, and switch gear should be as National Electric Code requires for electric motors excet next larger horsepower. Example: an NE 5 220 would require the same size breaker , wire, and switch gear as a 7.5 hp electric motor running on 230v.
  • A switch of some sort is required to turn PHASEMAKER on and off. Do not use breaker as breakers are not switch rated.
  • National Electric Code requires a magnetic starter be used on PHASEMAKERS NE 7.5 220 and larger.
  • Hard start kits 2 wires need to be hooked to load side of mag starter (not on manufactured leg) of 3 ph motor to be ran.
  • Manufactured Leg-treat it like high leg of true 3 ph power. It will have higher voltage than two power company legs. Keep it away from control circuits.
