• High humidity American Rotary offers both wall mount and idler mount control panel locations. In either case, to minimize heat and vibration in the control panel be sure to use proper isolation mounts on the idler/generator. The Idler can be mounted in an elevated position to help reduce the introduction of dust and foreign contaminants into the windings. - Page 9 The following diagram shows the electrical schematic for the rotary phase converter: Firmly snap in the green, yellow/white and red switch terminals into the pushbutton switch body.

Page 10: General Wiring Considerations
IMPORTANT, as under sizing the wire may lead to a phase converter that does not start or work properly. To minimize voltage drop, American Rotary recommends increasing wire size one size for every 50 feet of run and rounding up. -
Page 11: Wire Sizing Recommendation
2.1.4 WIRE SIZING RECOMMENDATIONS *For all voltages: Conductors recommended are based off minimum single phase breaker which is sized based on largest hard starting load & CNC amps. For combined HP’s greater than 50% of maximum total HP listed in the tables above, consult NEC & local codes for conductor sizing. -
Page 12: Operation & Maintenance
On AI and ADX American Rotary units, there is a red light on the panel. This red light shows when the phase converter is engaged in start-up mode. This light should not be on for more than 5 seconds. -
