Single Phase Power - Single-phase loads should be distributed evenly between the phases of the 3 phase system for efficient use of the supply conductors and supply transformer.  Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly lighting and heating, with few large electric motors.

Electrical Power Sub Categories:
Electrical Power Transformers - Read about various types of step-up transformers, step-down and isolation transformers.  Includes custom transformers and brand names such as Acme and Hammond Transformers.

Power Generators - Read about a variety of generators, such as three phase and diesel generators, including brand names like Baldor, Robin, Subaru, and Winco generators.

Rotary Phase Converters - Read about the different options for converting single phase power to three phase including static phase converters, CNC phase converters, and details about "build your own phase converter plans".

Motor Generator Sets - Motor Generator Sets are constructed by combining an electrical generator and an engine. These are then mounted together to form one piece of equipment. They are sometimes referred to as an MG Set or a generator set.

Electric Motors - Electric motors convert electrical energy into kinetic energy. Electric motors have rotating coils of wire which are operated by the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field on an electric current.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) - Read about variable frequency drives which control and save energy by regulating the speed of the electric motor and by determining how much the motor is loaded.  Covering WEG and Baldor variable frequency drive models.

Power Generator / Mobile Light Towers - Mobile light towers can provide light coverage for over seven acres and are powered by generators. They can be used for construction, emergency, industrial, mining, and event lighting. Find out more information and product features.

Electrical Power -
Electrical power circulates through cables and electricity pylons. Current can flow through a circuit and work, even when  there is resistance. Electric heaters, light bulbs and electric motors are some of the devices that are used to convert this work into heat, light or motion. Power generators put out enough energy to keep you warm or cool if a blackout occurs.
