Generator Phase Conversion
When deciding to purchase an electric power generator for your home or business it is important to consider the phase at which the generator will supply power. Generators are configured to operate on either single- or three-phase power depending on how the generator is wired. However, most generators can be reconfigured to supply either type of power. For residential applications, generators supply single-phase power as most household appliances operate on this type of power supply. For larger commercial or industrial applications, the power supply is typically three-phase which is more suited for supplying larger amounts of power at higher voltages. Remember, it’s always best to consult the manufacturer when installing or configuring generator components.
