Household appliances such as air conditioners, lights and fans are among the applications people consider when choosing an electrical phase-changing solution. At Selfguard Automation and Controls, we manufacture the Three Phase Automatic Phase Changer (APC) for installations that use a three-phase mains supply and single-phase loads.

Our Automatic Phase Changer is designed to provide output on all three phases when either one phase or two phases are present. To understand whether this product is suitable for different household appliances, it is important to look at its specified applications and operating principle.

 

Can a Selfguard Automatic Phase Changer Run an AC?

Yes, single-phase air conditioners are specifically listed among the applications of our Automatic Phase Changer. The product is designed for a three-phase mains supply and single-phase loads.

When selecting a Selfguard APC, the mains load determines the appropriate current rating. Our product is available in several ratings to accommodate different mains load requirements.

 

What About Refrigerators and Other Household Appliances?

At Selfguard, we specify the applications of our Automatic Phase Changer as lights, fans, single-phase air conditioners and single-phase motors.

Refrigerators are not specifically mentioned in our published product applications. Consequently, our product webpage does not establish whether a particular refrigerator is compatible with the unit.

For other appliances, the applications stated in our specifications provide the reference for understanding the intended use of our Automatic Phase Changer.

 

How Does the Selfguard Automatic Phase Changer Work?

Our Three Phase Automatic Phase Changer operates with a three-phase mains supply. When either one phase or two phases are present, the unit provides output on all three phases.

When a missing phase returns, the unit automatically shifts the load to its original phase using an inbuilt delay timer. This automatic switching operation is a key part of the product's stated functionality.

 

Which Automatic Phase Changer Rating Should You Choose?

Selfguard offers the Automatic Phase Changer in five current ratings: 63 Amps, 100 Amps, 125 Amps, 150 Amps and 200 Amps.

The appropriate model is selected according to the mains load. These available ratings allow customers to consider the product specification relevant to their particular installation.

 

Conclusion

At Selfguard Automation and Controls, our Three Phase Automatic Phase Changer is designed for three-phase mains supplies serving single-phase loads. Its specified applications include lights, fans, single-phase air conditioners and single-phase motors.

Although the product is suitable for applications involving single-phase ACs, refrigerators are not specifically listed on our product webpage. Our APC is available in five current ratings, and the appropriate model depends on the mains load.
