phase converters for big iron

Rotary phase converters or "phase masters" as they are sometimes refered to as, are widely used in the broadcast market. if the transmitter site can only be wired for 1 phase 220 because three phase does not run in the area (usually very remote) then a rotary or inverter phase converter is used. these can supply power in the three digit Kva's. i would avoid the inverter type as they are more pricey and suck alot of juice. goto www.broadcast.net and find the listserves. ask your question about phase converters there. a couble weeks ago, a station was selling one they no longer needed, don't remember the price but have seen them go for prices in the hundred's to the thousdands.
