To understand what three phase control is you need to know what three phase power is and what it is used for. Three phase power is a type of polyphase system used to power large equipment and some motors. There are 3 main wires that carry the same electrical current which give off constant power to the linear load and balanced load. In three phase power there is a magnetic field that is produced as it rotates in a specified direction which simplifies the design of certain electric motors. 

Most residential areas are only supplied with single phase power by the utility companies which means you need to find another way to come up with three phase control. You could have the utility company come out and install three phase power but the most economical way is to convert your single phase power into three phase power with a phase converter. There are many different types of  devices that can control three phase power.  

Three phase control can be simplified by installing a phase converter.  The phase converter takes your single phase power and converts it into three phase power. It gives your equipment a better balance and closer tolerances of voltage than actually the utility company has to offer. A phase converter is a economical way to have Three phase control .

There are many different types of phase converter that can be used to obtain three phase control:

• Static phase converter - these converters work by producing three power just in the start up of the equipment. They do not produce a balanced load.
• CNC phase converters -  are used for sensitive equipment. These converters produced a very balanced load and prevent harmonic distortion.
• Digital phase converters -  are electronic and non-mechanical and usually more expensive. Prone to electrical surges and produces a choppy sine wave.
• True three phase rotary phase converter  - will provide you with years of service. It is economical and provide you with true three phase power much like the utility company supplies.
