RE: single to three phase conversion

Look at it like this:

Every point in the transformer will be at zero volts at the same points
in the cycle.
If this was true two-phase, the two outputs would be staggered.

so it isnt really "2 phase power" just "2 phases". While I understand
transformer theory very well I really dont have a clue about building AC
motors. But it would seem to me there should be someway to wind every
alternating winding backwards to accept this kind of input...of course
it woudl be generating the same field.
