This article explains the difference between single phase and 3 phase voltages through practical examples. Xindun 3 phase inverter not only support single phase and 3 phase voltage outputs, but also support 100% 3 phase unbalanced loads, 3.2KW - 160KW, they meet the needs of various industrial and commercial scenarios.

What Is the Difference Between Single Phase and 3 Phase Inverter?

Many traders told us that many customers do not know how to choose between single phase inverter and 3 phase inverter when purchasing inverter. Today, we have been introducing single phase inverter before. This time, let's learn about  3 phase inverter.

 

difference between single phase and 3 phase inverter

 

As we all know, the single phase voltage is 220v 50Hz, so what is the 3 phase voltage? 380v 50Hz. We can simply understand it as: 3 sets of single phase voltages are converted into 380v in some way, but not simply 220v*3, but through the formula: single phase voltage 220v*coefficient 1.73=380v.

 

So what is the difference between single phase voltage and 3 phase voltage of AC? Connect a single phase inverter to a light, and you will find that the light is flickering when you take a photo of the light with your mobile phone; because single phase AC power is actually a band output, the voltage changes back and forth between the peak and the trough, just like a person pulling a cart of things. When he still has strength, the car pulls very fast, and when he feels tired, the car pulls very slowly. In this way, the speed of the car is not very stable.

 

3 phase voltage is equivalent to three people pulling a cart at the same time. The output is very stable and the strength is greater: when one person feels tired, the second person will take over and continue to pull the cart, and then the third person will pull the cart, and so on.

 

When driving industrial machines, this characteristic of 3 phase voltage becomes particularly important. Because industrial machines require a lot of power, and in order to ensure their operation, the input voltage must be stable, and 3 phase voltage just meets this requirement.

 

Xindun Power's 3 phase inverter has always provided users with stable output, with power ranging from 3.2kw to 160kw to meet different power requirements.

 

At the same time, our 3 phase inverter can also achieve unbalanced load, that is, at the output end, users can divide it into 3 groups of single phase output. For example, for a 3 phase inverter, users can divide it into 3 groups of 4kw single phase output at the output end. Users can output 4kw in one group and not in the other two groups. In the past, such output grouping required all three groups to carry the same load. Xindun Power has improved this function.

 

Whether you're selecting single phase inverter for residential use or 3 phase inverter for commercial and industrial applications, understanding the differences in voltage stability, power output, and load flexibility is essential. Now, contact us to get more information about inverter.
