Resolution:
We do not recommend using a rotary phase converter with our soft starts, because the soft start will see the phase imbalances and cause problems. Another solution would be to use a drive instead as the phase converter to feed the motor. You can select from the single phase rated drives that Schneider offers. If an offer is not available in a particular hp size then please contact local Drives Specialist who can make recommendations.
