A phase converter for converting single-phase power to three-phase power, wherein the single-phase power is provided at a first and a second single-phase power terminal and the three-phase power is provided to a first, a second and a third three-phase power terminal, the phase converter comprising: a first power transfer means for coupling the first single-phase power terminal to the first three-phase power terminal; a second power transfer means for coupling the second single-phase power terminal to the second three-phase power terminal; and an inverter coupled to receive power from the first and second single-phase power terminals. The inverter provides power to the third three-phase power terminal and a neutral output by phase shifting its input power by ninety degrees.
