Single-Phase to Three-Phase Conversion
Yaskawa Training Café

Why the need for single-phase to three-phase power
conversion?

Areas not originally designated for industrial manufacturing
with only single-phase power subject to increased demand
to support small manufacturing operations
• Small start-up companies
• Custom manufacturing (specialty) operations

Residential/ Commercial expansion needing increased water
demands
• Remote pumps (submersible/booster)
• Increased pump HP (moving water further distances)

Increased activity in energy sector
• Oil/Natural gas wells
• De-watering pumps
Need three-phase power to support increased demand!

Single-Phase to Three-Phase Conversion
Yaskawa Training Café

Methods of converting single-phase to three-phase
power:

Phase Converters
• Rotary Phase Converters (RPC)
– Use “idler” motor to generate third phase
• Static Phase Converters (SPC)
– Use inductors/capacitors to generate third phase
Unbalanced phase impedance
Difficult to balance phase voltages especially with varying load
Requires de-rating applied motor (by as much as 50%)!

Yaskawa Training Café – Through the Combined Efforts of Drives Engineering and Technical Training Services
Single-Phase Input Drive Derating
Yaskawa Training Café

Why is Drive derating required?
 Single-phase 60Hz input results in 120Hz DC bus
ripple!
– DC bus capacitors need to provide more power
– DC bus level will decrease a larger amount than with threephase input during this time
Yaskawa Training Café – Through the Combined Efforts of Drives Engineering and Technical Training Services
Single-Phase Input Drive Derating
Yaskawa Training Café

Why is Drive derating required?

Duration between bus peaks is longer in single-phase case
• Dc bus circuit will have to supply power for longer period
– More stress on input and DC bus components

Single-Phase Input Drive Derating
Yaskawa Training Café

Why is Drive derating required?

Drive components subject to greater stress with single-phase
input
• DC bus circuit (capacitors, DC link choke, bus bars)
– Increased ripple voltage and current
– Capacitors need to deliver more of the power to the load
• Input diode rectifier
– Increased input current
» Higher harmonic content
» Using only 2/3rds of the rectifier
• Input terminals
– Increased input current
» Higher harmonic content
» Using only 2 of 3 input terminals
Yaskawa Training Café – Through the Combined Efforts of Drives Engineering and Technical Training Services
Single-Phase Input Drive Derating
Yaskawa Training Café

Therefore, derating of Drive HP and output amperage
will be required so that the Drive components operate
within their ratings!


Selecting the Proper Drive
Yaskawa Training Café

Select Drive that meets or exceeds both motor HP and motor
FLA requirements

When making selection be sure to take into account operation
using the service factor of the motor if required by the application
• Drive must be selected to accommodate motor S.F. amps and
motor S.F. horsepower if applicable!

DC Link Choke Benefits
Yaskawa Training Café

Using a DC Link Choke allows us to pull more power
from the VFD



Reduces DC bus ripple
Lowers input harmonics (from over 100% to 90% ITHD)
Improves input power factor (to approx. 0.7 PF)
Therefore, DC
Link Chokes
must always be
DC Link Chokes are listed in Table 1
used!
• Link Chokes selected to optimize performance for
single-phase
• reduces input current
use
– Note: Models 18kW and smaller use a different link choke
than what is normally used with three-phase input
– Select DC link choke according to Table 1
– Caution - DC link chokes are open style (no enclosure)

Input Voltage and Frequency
Yaskawa Training Café

Input Supply Specifications:

Standard VFD specifications with three-phase input:
• 208-240/480Vac, +10/-15%
• 50/60Hz, +/-5%

VFD Specifications with single-phase input:
• 240/480Vac, +10/-5%
• 60Hz, +/-5%
Thus, strict input voltage tolerance of +10 to -5% and 60Hz applies with
single-phase use!
Note: Wire input using terminals L1(R) and L2(S) to accommodate units
that incorporate AC fans and soft-charge circuits (larger models)
Yaskawa Training Café – Through the Combined Efforts of Drives Engineering and Technical Training Services
Input Voltage and Frequency
Yaskawa Training Café

Why the stricter input voltage tolerance?

Average bus voltage is lower with single-phase input than with
equivalent three-phase input
• Therefore, output motor voltage will be reduced
• Motor power will be reduced with lower motor voltage


Output voltage of 207V with input voltage of 228V (240V – 5%)
Output voltage of 414V with input voltage of 456V (480V – 5%)
Consider using a 208V or 400V motor if rated power must be developed
at base speed to eliminate the effect of voltage deprivation!
208V and 400V motor selections are included in Table 1
Note: Additional impedance at the input of the Drive will cause additional voltage
drop!

• 50/60Hz, +/-5%

VFD Specifications with single-phase input:
• 240/480Vac, +10/-5%
• 60Hz, +/-5%
Thus, strict input voltage of 240V(480Vac) +10 to -5% at 60Hz
applies with single-phase use!
Note: Wire input using terminals L1(R) and L2(S) to accommodate units
that incorporate AC fans and soft-charge circuits
Yaskawa Training Café – Through the Combined Efforts of Drives Engineering and Technical Training Services
Single-Phase Input Current
Yaskawa Training Café

Drive input current will be approximately twice the
motor current



Single-phase to three-phase conversion accounts for majority
of input current increase (factor √ 3)
Overall input Power Factor of 0.7 can be expected
Input current is included in Table 1
Yaskawa Training Café – Through the Combined Efforts of Drives Engineering and Technical Training Services
Overload Capacity
Yaskawa Training Café

Overload capacity with single-phase input is limited to
120% of Drive single-phase current rating



Increased DC bus ripple means the DC bus level will drop to
lower level
As output power increases (high torque and high speed)
average bus voltage decreases
Motor voltage further decreases as load increases
Therefore, expect 120% overload maximum for starting
purposes only!
Consult factory with cyclic applications (repeating overload) or
when overload in excess of 120% is required

Summary:

Input Specifications:
• Voltage: 240/480VAC +10% / -5%,
• Frequency: 60Hz +/-5%

Drive Ratings must meet or exceed both motor HP and FLA
• Be sure to include Service Factor operation if required


• Consult factory if Link Chokes cannot be used



Expect motor voltage of approx. 207Vac (414Vac) with input
voltage of 228Vac (456Vac)
• Consider a reduced voltage motor (208/400V) if full HP is
required with low input voltage

Specifications not mentioned in this document remain the
same as standard three-phase product

Input Phase Loss (PF) Faults
Yaskawa Training Café

Final Comments:

When using the Drive with single-phase input the Drive’s input
phase loss protection must remain enabled
• If Input Phase Loss (PF) faults are encountered, be sure to
check the load current and horsepower along with incoming line
voltage levels to insure all are within Drive specification
• Input Phase Loss faults generally indicate the Drive is
undersized for the connected load
• Disabling input phase loss protection will result in permanent
Drive damage and void the warranty

Reducing Drive output frequency will reduce HP requirement
• Limiting the maximum frequency may allow an undersized drive
to operate the load (Power = Torque x Speed)
