NLT Series Phase Converters

Best For

Who needs the NLT Series?

Many industrial machines — especially those built for factory or plant environments — are designed for 460V three-phase power. If you're setting up such equipment in a shop or facility that only has 230V single-phase service, the NLT Series bridges that gap.

• Used industrial equipment — machinery designed for factory 460V service
• Heavy metal fabrication — large press brakes, ironworkers, plate rolls
• Large lathes and mills — machines rated 460V from original factory
• Industrial pumps and HVAC — commercial 460V motors on residential service
• Woodworking machinery — large European machines often run on 400V/460V

How the NLT Works

The NLT Series uses the same TEFC cast-iron idler motor as the standard NL Series, but adds a built-in step-up transformer on the output side. The converter first generates balanced three-phase power at 230V, then the transformer steps it up to 460V. This is more efficient and more reliable than using a separate external transformer.

Your single-phase input remains at 230V — the same service your shop already has. No utility upgrades needed.

NLT vs External Transformer

• Single enclosure — converter and transformer in one NEMA 4 box
• Optimized for the load — transformer is matched to converter capacity
• No external wiring between components — reduces installation complexity
• Sized correctly from the factory — no transformer sizing mistakes
