I've have done the do it yourself rotary phase converter deal in the past, using a capacitor bank to jump the 3rd leg.
Question. On the commercially available converters, I feel the right way to do it would be to have extra windings on the 3rd leg with in the motor since that is a generated phase from those windings. So the question is do outfits like Roto-Phase do that, or do they just purchase a motor like any of us can do and hang a box with caps on it and a sticker that says roto phase????????
And one other question are we in agreement that said motor should be a "Y" connected deal???? A delta would have all the single phase across one winding.
