    Does a Rotary Phase Converter Actually Make Real 3-Phase Power?

    I have an inverter-based phase converter in my shop. It passes through the 240v from the utility untouched on two wires, and synthesizes a third phase. I always believed the synthesized phase created a close enough approximation to actual 120 symmetrical 3-phase that it just didn't matter. Nope! This is super interesting.
