PLT Series Phase Converters

The PLT Series is Phoenix's premium solution for 460V three-phase equipment on 230V single-phase service. It combines the built-in step-up transformer of the NLT Series with the enhanced output filtering of the PL Series — the right choice for 460V CNC machines, servo equipment, and sensitive industrial controls.

Who uses the PLT Series?

The PLT Series targets shops and facilities that have 230V single-phase service and need to run 460V CNC machines or other voltage-sensitive three-phase equipment.

  • 460V CNC machining centers — Haas, Mazak, Okuma, Doosan with 460V input
  • 460V CNC lathes and turning centers
  • Industrial servo presses — voltage-sensitive servo drives at 460V
  • European industrial machinery — typically 400V, compatible with 460V output
  • Large injection molding equipment with servo hydraulics

PLT vs NLT: What's Different?

Both convert 230V single-phase to 460V three-phase with a built-in transformer. The PLT adds enhanced output filtering:

  • Tighter voltage balance — <2% imbalance for CNC requirements
  • Reduced harmonic content on the generated third leg
  • Better performance at variable loads — CNC machines constantly cycle

If your 460V equipment is standard industrial machinery (pumps, conveyors, non-CNC), the NLT Series is more economical. Use PLT for CNC and servo equipment.

Key Features

  • 230V single-phase input → 460V three-phase output
  • Built-in step-up transformer — no external components
  • Enhanced output filtering — <2% voltage imbalance typical
  • NEMA 4 steel enclosure
  • TEFC cast-iron idler motor
  • Lifetime transferable warranty
  • Made in Phoenix, Arizona

Sizing Notes

  • Size by spindle motor HP, not total machine kVA
  • Add servo/coolant pump HP if they're large (>1 HP)
  • For two 460V CNCs: (Machine 1 × 2.0) + (Machine 2 × 1.0)
  • When in doubt, go one size up — over-sized converters are fine
