Recently, our friend Luis Norda from Royal Electric Supply, an electrical parts supplier in Miami, Florida reached out with a unique project. A doctor in the Bahamas was building a new facility that required 3-phase power distribution for the medical facility. This project stood out as the “Make America Great Again” project because, in earlier January of 2025, a CT Scanner made in China had been sized with a Phasemaster® MA-7 and a 75kVA DIR Transformer by our phase converter team of experts. Then, shortly after the United States Presidential Inauguration on January, 20, 2025, the project scope changed. Due to a concern of price increases related to tariffs, the CT-Scanner doubled in size, and was made in America by GE Healthcare.

This new equipment had a specification for a 225kVA transformer, despite only needing 175 AMP three-phase, which a 112.5 kVA transformer could handle. While running two Phasemaster® MA-8 rotary phase converters in parallel would have done the trick, there was a need for an LSV (load sensing voltage regulator) with a variance of 1%. This was too tight of a range for any Miniphase™ solid state static, Phasemaster® rotary phase converter, or variable frequency drive.

So, Kay Industries teamed up with the Phase Perfect folks to offer a digital phase converter capable of exceeding expectations. Our buddy Luis provided the customer with the option of either a DIR Transformer, or a Jefferson Electric Transformer to step the 240v up to 480v.

As we speak, we are awaiting images from the project, to share with you.

Furthermore, Phasemaster® three-phase rotary converter solutions for the Bahamas commercial kitchen equipment was likewise addressed.
