Olive Oil processing case studies Single to Three phase POLYPHAZ rotary converters
Karooba Pty Ltd Olive Farm
Bill Blake of Karooba Pty Ltd was limited by a single phase supply to operate his three phase olive pressing machines, with three phase power from the supply authority many kilometer's away a POLYPHAZ converter proved to be a viable option to operate all the three phase machines at the Gidgegannup property.

The York olive oil company required
three phase power to operate the olive processing equipment, however three
phase power was many kilometers & many thousands of dollars to get connected
so a POLYPHAZ rotary converter R/37/480b was installed to operate
all the equipment at this rural location limited to a single phase supply
source.
This converter uses the VolTrak
system to provide a balanced output supply as required by many modern processing
equipment , the following figures where taken on site with their site electrician
Tony Swain.
This demonstrates the efficiency & effectiveness of the VolTrak system (voltage asymmetry) coupled with the Floating Pole Rotary (current asymmetry) to achieve the current asymmetry required by the olive equipment manufacturer.
Converter current readings
under load:
L1: 29amps, L2: 31amps, L3: 31amps
Converter voltage asymmetry under load:
L1 > L3: 420volts, L1 > L2: 413volts, L2
> L3: 428volts
