PXe-C Series Three Phase Static Frequency Converters
PXe-330000-C Series
PX Electronics 330000-C Series three-phase static frequency converters provide conversion from one frequency to another, offering stable, reliable 50Hz to 60Hz and 60Hz to 50Hz power conversion for industrial equipment, marine systems, export testing and manufacturing environments. Designed for continuous-duty operation, the PX330000-C series delivers stable three-phase output and protection for all types of machinery from rotating motors to specialist electrical loads.
Using solid-state IGBT PWM conversion technology, each system converts incoming AC power to DC, then generates a controlled AC output at the required power frequency. This makes the PXe-330000-C range suitable for equipment operating across different global power standards, including imported machinery, export production testing and industrial sites requiring dependable frequency conversion.
Technical Highlights for Three Phase Frequency Conversion:
50Hz and 60Hz conversion
Converts between 50Hz and 60Hz three phase supply frequencies for machinery, production equipment and specialist electrical systems.
Industrial load support
Suitable for larger inductive, resistive loads, imbalance, including motors, pumps, compressors and HVAC equipment.
IGBT PWM technology
Solid-state Frequency conversion provides precise current and frequency control for stable output performance.
Harmonic Mitigation Strategy
Optional 12-pulse and 18-pulse rectifier technology reduces input current harmonic distortion by cancelling dominant lower-order harmonics, improving supply compatibility and overall power quality.
Transformer isolation
Output isolation protects connected equipment, adds flexibility and supports cleaner, more stable power delivery.
Continuous-duty design
Built for production facilities, test environments and operational systems requiring long run times and reporting.
Control and monitoring options
Available with front panel controls, HMI, remote operation, communication and monitoring watchdog options.
PXe-330000-C configurations:
PXe three phase static frequency converters can be configured to suit a wide range of input supplies, output frequencies, installation formats and control requirements. Systems are available for standard 50Hz and 60Hz conversion duties, with 400Hz output options for aircraft or specialist equipment power requirements.
The range covers output ratings from 1kVA to 500kVA, allowing systems to be specified for small test loads, production equipment, larger machinery, and higher-power operational loads. Input and output voltages can be matched to the site supply and connected equipment, helping customers operate machinery or test products under the correct electrical conditions.
Each converter is built around solid-state IGBT PWM conversion with sine-wave AC output and integrated transformer isolation. This supports electrical separation between input and output, while helping reduce noise and improve compatibility with connected equipment.
Operators can monitor key values from the front panel, including voltage, current, frequency and system status. Protection functions are built into the system to respond to abnormal operating conditions such as overload, short circuit, over-temperature and phase loss.
Depending on the project, units can be supplied as rack-mounted, floor-standing or mobile enclosure systems. Remote monitoring and communication interfaces, including RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet, are available where integration with wider control or test systems is required.

Order Codes:
A product order code can be derived from the main ordering information using the structure below:
Generic order code is based on this format: PXe-330000-C and all PXE order codes start with the six digits like 330200 in this case indicating 3ph-input 3ph-output and 200kVA
For example a 3 phase in 50Hz, 3 phase out 60Hz, 200kVA, Commercial, Manual Control = PXE-330200-C
PXE-330200-C-[INPUT]-[OUTPUT]-[RATING]-[ENCLOSURE]-[CONTROL]
