Multi-Phases 

5

2 Utilisation

2.1 Starting the phase-converter

The phase-converter is started when the T1 and T2 terminals are energized by the
single-phase input. Use of a switch is recommended. Sometimes the phase-
converter does not start. When this occurs, simply turn the switch off and try again.
If this situation persists, please contact your representative.

WARNING

Phase-converters are not designed to execute frequent start-ups so it is

recommended to start them no more than once or twice a day.

WARNING

Always start up the phase-converter by itself, without any load

Always ensure that the input voltage loss is not greater than 10% when starting up
the phase-converter. If a loss greater10% is observed, check the adequacy of the
electrical installation..

2.2 Operation

Once the phase-converter is in operation, it is possible that the voltage between the
T2 and T3 terminals will be higher. This variance is normal and will correct itself
when a load is applied. Always refer to section 3 when changes are made during
installation to avoid overloading the device.
