## Facts

- SKU **A-PHASE/18KW**: 220 V single-phase in (±15% 50 Hz) to 380 V three-phase out. Typical **6 kW per phase**; burst **10 kW per phase** up to 10 minutes for motor inrush.
- Standby with no load is about **10 W (0.05 A)**. At low load, output may swing below 380 V (normal; loads still run); noisier and lower power factor. Quieter and higher efficiency above about half of rated capacity.
- Works on a generator (wide input voltage range); no extra AVR needed on the converter output.
- Fits typical 12 kW roller heat press, 3 kW fibre laser, 5.5 kW CNC router class loads. Example: a 12 kW roller with a 1.5 kW across-the-line motor is about 15 kW total → **80 A** on 220 V, house-installable.
