    Anyone know of any good books or websites on building a rotary three phase
converter suited to Australian conditions?. Most American designs use 220V  
which is
two active wires taken from the pole transformer with neutral being the  
center tap
if I understand it correctly.

    It would be possible to build an exact cop of a yank design and feed it  
240V
single phase but the way they are wired means you'd be connecting neutral  
to one of
the motor phases:  http://www.metalwebnews.com/howto/ph-conv/fig1.html

    My motor is a multivoltage motor so it can run off 240V three phase  
instead
of 415 Volts.
