The voltage looks right.
The job by turning single phase to 3 phase is to make it a rotating magnetic field. The very first simple generators was just a permanent magnet on a spindle turning around and making magnet fields. With 3 coils you could make the field move in one direction, did they reverse the generator the field reversed. They actually started with 2 wires for each field (6 wires) Then they dicovered to let 3 of them be a common neutral, and it was even possible to skip the neutral if the lower voltage was not needed. Here you have only 2 of the wires. If we call the 3 wires A,B and C and each is a corner in a triangle. You have A and B and may draw a line between those, but you have no idea if the C is ower or under your line.
Of-course we may solve that :-) We could buy a frequency converter for 3 phase, and it will work with only 2 wires in. Some electronics helps to do that... It may even not be extremely expensive. How did they solve it before the electronics became available? A rotating motor-generator,
It is described better in this forum than anywhere else in the internet
Or you could just use a capacitor, but that is not good enough when the load varies.
If we compare it whit something much more common, a diesel motor: It does not rotate...or does it? The pistons is moving forth and back as the drawing of the line A-B but have a flywheel that rotates, you probably know how
That i s what you have to do with the magnetic field.
