# PhaseMagic — 220 V single-phase → 380 V three-phase (CNC shops)

Brand: **am.co.za** / AM.CO.ZA. Shortcut guide · 2026-09-07 03:15 SAST.

## Story / context

Many SA small workshops only have **220 V single-phase**. CNC routers, some fibre lasers, industrial presses, and other motors want **380 V three-phase**. **PhaseMagic** converts 220→380 so a shop without municipal three-phase can still run those machines.

HELPING marks PhaseMagic **Hot** — people like it; main channel filmed the 18 kW unit. Pair with EasyRoute / industrial loads when the client says “no three-phase”.

**Do not invent a SKU** beyond what product JSON / training / company pages name. Do not invent prices, amperage beyond cited training, or restock days.

## Who it is for

CNC / EasyRoute buyers on household or small-commercial single-phase; workshops adding a three-phase spindle/laser/press without a new Eskom three-phase supply conversation first.
