I have recommended American Rotary in my book for the last 5 years. I found some time and decided I should buy the panel and test it out.
Spoiler alert is that I still recommend them after the testing. And I will say that I found a couple of surprising things in the panel that makes them a good buy. It takes time to really do a deep dive on something like a rotary converter so this video series is in 3 parts.
Hope you enjoy the series and learn something new about the phase conversion process.

All the test data in these videos was derived using my measuring equipment and none of that equipment is certified to be 100 per cent accurate. I don't work for American Rotary and I am not getting paid for the content here and I bought the panel for $450 with my own money.

Where can I get your book nowadays?

What does this unit have in it to prevent single phasing at the machine? Does the and machine still get single phase power through the RPC even though the RPC has not been fired/running?

The thing that I noticed with many converters is the the wild leg is always low on amps compared to the other two legs. What can be done to change that besides buying a high cost converter ????? Thanks

Sorry for the late response, just saw your question now. The wild leg will vary depending on the load and how much capacitance is in that circuit. You can add and subtract capacitors to make it closer to what you need. If you need perfect balance then you need to buy a Phase Perfect converter. And no I don't sell them or get paid by them it is just that the rotary converter can not give that to you. The rotary converters are cheap to build and fairly indestructible so they are popular. The more companies put electronic controls on machines the harder it will be for the rotary to be able to run them. If you look at part two or three, which you may have done so all ready, you can see I can get a better balance by adding more caps to the American rotary unit.
