What Is a Phase Converter and How Does It Work?
A phase converter changes available electrical power, such as 220V single-phase supply, into three-phase power for compatible industrial machines, motors, pumps, CNC routers, fibre lasers, heat presses and workshop equipment.

Understanding Electrical Phases
Single-Phase vs Three-Phase Power Explained
Single-phase electricity is commonly used in homes and small business premises, while three-phase electricity is widely used for industrial machinery because it delivers smoother power, higher capacity and better performance for motors and heavy-duty equipment.
What Is a Electrical Phase?
An electrical phase refers to the timing of an alternating current voltage wave. In simple terms, single-phase power has one alternating voltage wave, while three-phase power has three separate voltage waves working together.
This makes three-phase power better suited for machines that need continuous, balanced and efficient power delivery, especially equipment with larger motors or higher power demands.
What Is Single-Phase Power?
220V single-phase power is the standard electrical supply found in many homes, small workshops, farms and commercial premises in South Africa.
Single-phase power is suitable for normal electrical loads such as lights, plugs, small appliances, computers, small tools and general household equipment. However,many industrial machines are designed for three-phase electricity and cannot be connected directly to ordinary single-phase power without the correct phase conversion system.
What Is Three-Phase Power?
380V three-phase power is commonly used for industrial CNC machinery, motors, pumps, compressors, HVAC systems and production equipment that require higher power and smoother operation.
Three-phase power supplies three alternating voltage waves instead of one. This helps motors run more smoothly, improves efficiency and allows machines to handle heavier loads. That is why someCNC machines, fibre lasers, heat rollers, compressors and are often designed for three-phase input.

What is PhaseMagic™?
PhaseMagic™ is an AM.CO.ZA™ phase converter that converts 220V single-phase input into 380V three-phase output for compatible industrial machines.
What does PhaseMagic™ allow me to do?
It allows selected 380V three-phase machines to run from a properly installed 220V single-phase power supply, where normal three-phase electricity is not available.
What machines can PhaseMagic™ work with?
PhaseMagic™ may be suitable for compatible CNC routers, fibre laser machines, roller heat presses, pumps, motors, compressors, conveyors, farm equipment and light industrial workshop machines.
Can PhaseMagic™ run a CNC router?
Yes, it can run selected CNC routers, depending on the spindle size, vacuum pump, total machine load, motor startup demand and site electrical supply.
Can PhaseMagic™ run a fibre laser?
Yes, it may be suitable for selected fibre laser machines, such as compatible 3kW fibre laser systems, provided the total electrical demand is within specification.
Can PhaseMagic™ run a roller heat press?
Yes, it may be suitable for compatible roller heat presses. A typical roller heat press often combines heating load, inverter-controlled motors and normal motor startup demand.
What is the input voltage?
PhaseMagic™ accepts 220V ±15% 50Hz single-phase input.
What is the output voltage?
PhaseMagic™ outputs 380V 50Hz three-phase power.
How much power can PhaseMagic™ supply?
PhaseMagic™ is designed for up to 6kW per phase, with short burst capacity of up to 10kW per phase for less than 10 minutes to help with motor startup inrush current.
What is the typical total output capacity?
The typical design capacity is around 18kW total, calculated as 6kW per phase across three phases.
Can PhaseMagic™ work with a generator?
Yes. PhaseMagic™ can work with a suitable generator because it accepts a wide input voltage range. The generator must still be correctly sized for the connected machine and startup demand.
Can I install PhaseMagic™ myself?
We recommend that PhaseMagic™ be installed by a qualified electrician. Incorrect installation can damage equipment and create serious safety risks.
