Running 3 Phase Motors on Single Phase Power
I show my setup that I use to take 220VAC single phase household power and create both 230VAC 3 phase and 460VAC 3 phase power using a rotary phase converter and a 3 phase transformer.
Everybody knows that 3 phase power is expensive to get, and most homes only have single phase (110 or 220) power. But 3 phase motors run smoother, because power is constant, so they would be nice to have. You can even get a hold of them used for free/next-to-nothing because almost no one has 3 Phase Power in their home.
