Rotary Phase Converter (Create 3-phase power from a single phase source)

[nhengineer]

But when make drawing for the city or county That is a 3 wire single phase
That will not start a 3 phase motor with additional caps for starting and last I heard We are taking about 3 phase

The trick is to find the appropriate transformer that is 1:2 with a center tap on the output. That will take some research on my part. (corrected 2017-01-18)



Smithdoor, we are going from 2-wire single (one hot & one earth ground) to 3-wire 2-phase (2 hots & one earth ground) to 4-wire 3-phase (3 hots [kind of] & one earth ground). The required transformer (if it exists) would not be cheap but probably more economical than purchasing a single phase motor to drive the equipment.
