[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 533449, member: 13534"] I built a rotary pahse converter once, and it worked very very well to be honest. I would be here all night writing out the details, BUT you need to know two things.. 1, you have capacitors "in circuit" as it were all the time, this is what generates the "third phase" if you like, and 2, you have additional capacitors that you switch in for starting the motor.. Star/delta starters will achieve nothing as you do not have three phase power to operate one, so forget all about that idea.. Here is mine i made.. john.. [/QUOTE]
