Three-phase motors are also much used for FIG.
Rexroth launched a family of compact single- and three-phase frequency converters said to combine easy start-up with extensive functions.
Where no three-phase electricity is available and single-phase motors are unsuitable, a single to three-phase converter may be the only answer.
Background It is advantageous to use three-phase motors in many applications.
The Bergeon electric motor (with a two-step pulley) was cradled in a cast-iron holder and available with both single and three-phase motors.
