those things are a start capacitor and a potential relay.

a "three phase" motor "starter" at best
and a gimmick/magic box that burns out motors at worst.


if they actually produced three phase they would put "phase perfect" out of business.

And you have experience with using these Static Phase Converters, There are many different manufactures that make them, with thousands in use, I would love to see some of the installs that you have done with them to make those kind of statements, what you are saying is total BS

Two different types of single to 3ph power,for different purposes, I have a 100 amp Phase Perfect, Do you, Static Phase converters have been around a lot longer than Phase Perfect has, it did not stop them building their units, the Static Phase converters have advanced over the years, and work very well for someone that does not have the money for a Phase Perfect

where to begin.

how about their website.

"
For light to moderate starting or running loads only.
Intended for wye wound motors. Some delta wound motors may operate but will produce 50% of their nameplate HP.
Motors will produce 2/3 of rated HP.
Special Loads:
Lathes 3 HP and larger must have a clutch and be started or reversed only while disengaged.
May be used for air compressors but should have the motor pully size reduced by 1/3 in diameter. Alternately, a motor that is 50% larger may be fitted."
