Subject: 1 to 3 phase converter info

I am interested in where to obtain information on how static and rotory single to three phase converters 
work.  I currently have a text book on a simple static converter using a run capacitor, a switch, and a 
start capacitor.  

There must be more info on making the starting more automatic.  I haven't found anything on rotary 
converters.

Thank you in advance.

Static converters can work, but with reduced horsepower.  For an article
on building a rotary phase converter go to:

Haven't done it, but this information looks excellent.  Rotary is the
way to go!

Good Luck,
