[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 472091, member: 9512"] You can create "false" phases with capacitors, but you need a box full to get the right one for the load, and the two will be different to allow the correct phase delay (read create the rotation), and this is pretty much load dependent, so the caps would need changing for various loads, and it's a trial and error job to find which ones are the right ones, hence you needing a bucket full of them. You might be able to swap the motors from delta to star and run them on a 1ph to 3ph VSD, but that would need major panel rework. If you really need 3ph to run the pumps quick a generator may be your best bet. [/QUOTE]
