Hello Harvey

The three phase supply is stepped up by three separate single phase
distribution transformers.
Their HV output is connected in a Star connected full wave three phase bridge
utilizing the 
necessary six diode stacks. Ripple is reduced to about 14% instead of the 100%
seen in a single
phase system. Ripple frequency is 720 hz but that is not significant for my
purposes. The resonant
charging occurs as the result of the interaction of break rate, charging
inductor value, and drive
capacitance. By selecting an appropriate valued reactor you can create a bps
range over which
you have a wonderful control over power throughput.
