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. ![PhaseMagic_singlePhase-Graph_V.svg](https://phaseconverter.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/PhaseMagic_singlePhase-Graph_V.svg) ## 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.](https://buythis.co.za/a-phase-18kw#ai) ![PhaseMagic_threePhase-Graph_V.svg](https://phaseconverter.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/PhaseMagic_threePhase-Graph_V.svg) ## 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 some[CNC machines](https://buythis.co.za/machines#ai), [fibre lasers](https://buythis.co.za/fiber-cutters#ai), [heat rollers](https://buythis.co.za/roller-presses#ai), [compressors](https://buythis.co.za/air-compressors#ai) and are often designed for three-phase input.** PhaseMagic™ Use Cases ## Run Three-Phase Machines Where 220V Is All You Have The [A-PHASE/18KW PhaseMagic™ Phase Converter](https://buythis.co.za/a-phase-18kw#ai)converts 220V single-phase power to 380V three-phase output, helping workshops, farms, small factories and production spaces run compatible CNC routers, fibre lasers, roller heat presses, pumps, motors and other industrial machines. ## A-PHASE/18KW: PhaseMagic 18kW Phase Converter, 220V Single-Phase to 380V Three-Phase Converter with Maximum 6kW Per Phase Output (Burst to 10kW Up to 10 Minutes) Input 220V ±15% 50Hz, Output 380V 50Hz ![A-PHASE-18KW.jpg](https://data.buythis.co.za/product/A-PHASE-18KW.jpg) From [https://buythis.co.za/a-phase-18kw#ai](https://buythis.co.za/a-phase-18kw#ai) incl VAT The [A-PHASE/18KW PhaseMagic™](https://buythis.co.za/a-phase-18kw#ai) gives machine owners a practical way to run selected **380V three-phase industrial machines** from **220V single-phase power**.

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. ## CNCU / software downloads (public hotlinks) - [https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA%20PrintEXP%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Latest%20Version/PrintExp-A3.zip](https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA%20PrintEXP%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Latest%20Version/PrintExp-A3.zip) - [https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA%20PrintEXP%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Latest%20Version/PrintExp-Single.zip](https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA%20PrintEXP%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Latest%20Version/PrintExp-Single.zip) - [https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA%20PrintEXP%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Latest%20Version/PrintExp-Unicode.zip](https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA%20PrintEXP%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Latest%20Version/PrintExp-Unicode.zip) - [https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA%20PrintEXP%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Upgrade%20Tool/](https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA%20PrintEXP%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Upgrade%20Tool/) - [https://cncu.co.za/directTOFILM-DTF-Textile-Printer/PrintExp%20DTF%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Saved%20Firmware/](https://cncu.co.za/directTOFILM-DTF-Textile-Printer/PrintExp%20DTF%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Saved%20Firmware/) - [https://cncu.co.za/directTOFILM-UV-DTF-Printer/PrintExp%20UVDTF%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Firemware/](https://cncu.co.za/directTOFILM-UV-DTF-Printer/PrintExp%20UVDTF%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Firemware/) - [https://cncu.co.za/FlatPRINT-Flatbed-UV-Printer/PrintExp%20Flatbed%20UV%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Saved%20Firmware/](https://cncu.co.za/FlatPRINT-Flatbed-UV-Printer/PrintExp%20Flatbed%20UV%20Printer%20Control%20%26%20Alignment%20Software/Saved%20Firmware/) - [https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA%20InkRIP%20Easy%20RIP%20Software/latest%20version/](https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/AM.CO.ZA%20InkRIP%20Easy%20RIP%20Software/latest%20version/) _Page body extracted from the Bricks builder (published postmeta), not live-crawled HTML._
