Scot,

Split phase is fine for sync mod.  Did you have the case of the motor
grounded?  I would think that would have protected it from the HV
flashover.

Hi John, Scot,

As reason would seem to dictate this, this does not necessarily seem 
to be the case from my personal experience. I did almost exactly the 
same thing that Scot did a few months back with my large "Medusa"
system, and my motor's case was indeed grounded to the RF ground.
The motor still went deader than a hammer and I had to replace it.
