Smart-Boost™ Digital Rotary Phase Converters
Smart-Boost™ is a new breed of Digital Rotary Phase Converter. The Smart-Boost™ technology aids in the startup of motors external of the phase converter downstream. The Smart-Boost™ Controller uses solid state switching to re-engage the start capacitors at zero degree crossing. Which in turn, surges 600% more current to the motors during their startup.
Designed for: Air compressors, pumps, fans, blowers, large flywheels and any hard starting motor.
