This index collects the 2 AM main-channel videos about it that were not yet listed in another AM how-to index. Voltage regulator (AVR) wiring is in the [electrical power how-to index](electrical-power-howtos.md) and roller heat press videos are in the [heat press how-to index](heat-press-howtos.md). Deduplicated by watch ID across all AM how-to index pages (channel indexes alone do not count as how-to coverage). **Source:** local AM YouTube dump `youtube.jsonl` (main channel; refreshed 2026-10-18 00:25 SAST), the Buythis product dump `buythis.jsonl` and am.im product JSON. First written 2026-10-18 18:39 SAST with 2 videos. **YouTube and Buythis were not crawled.** Titles and watch URLs below are taken from the dump as written. Videos were **not** watched. Both videos have short English transcripts in the dump, and the summaries are paraphrased from them only. Nothing was invented to fill gaps. ## English dump titles (2 unique watch URLs) AM-channel uploads are framed as **AM training/support sources**. Each watch URL is a source. ### What the PhaseMagic does and how its panel reads (feature video) This is the video the am.im product JSON for A-PHASE/18KW lists as its feature video. Paraphrased from the dump transcript: - The converter takes 220 V household electricity and turns it into three-phase electricity straight away. - The unit has a single-phase input side and a three-phase output side, as pointed out in the video. - It has a trip switch for the single-phase side and another for the three-phase side. - Switch the three-phase side on first, then switch on the three-phase machine. The amp meter then shows how many amps the three-phase load is pulling. - The point made in the video: you can run industrial three-phase machinery at home or anywhere you only have single-phase power. Call AM sales for more information. | Date | Channel | Title (from dump) | Watch URL (source) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-04-20 | main | PhaseMagic 18kW Phase Converter, 220V Single-Phase to 380V Three-Phase Converter | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egdQnJvqLdE | ### Running a three-phase oil roller heat press on single-phase power (short promo) Paraphrased from the dump transcript: the video opens on a 12 kW oil roller heat press that runs on three-phase power, then shows that the supply is actually single-phase. It introduces the PhaseMagic 18 kW converter as what turns the 220 V single-phase supply into a reliable 380 V three-phase source, and points viewers to sales and to the full review (the feature video above). The transcript does not name the heat press SKU. AM's 380 V 12 kW oil roller press in the Buythis dump is H-ROLLER/1700/OIL12, listed below only as the closest current match. | Date | Channel | Title (from dump) | Watch URL (source) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-04-20 | main | PhaseMagic 18kW Phase Converter, 220V Single-Phase to 380V Three-Phase Converter | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vGte2aj3nY | ## Sizing notes from the product listing From the Buythis dump product name for A-PHASE/18KW (not from the videos): input 220 V ±15% 50 Hz, output 380 V 50 Hz, a maximum of 6 kW per phase, and bursts up to 10 kW per phase for up to 10 minutes. Check that a machine's running load per phase, and its start-up surge, stay within those limits before recommending the converter, and confirm with AM sales or support for larger machines. More detail on standby draw, light-load behaviour and generator use is on the [PhaseMagic training page](../training/phasemagic-18kw.md). ## Related SKUs (Buythis dump and am.im product JSON only; no prices, no stock) Product names come from the Buythis product dump (`buythis.jsonl`; **not crawled**) and am.im product JSON.
