Does anyone have a design or textbook reference on this sort of thing:
Scott-Ts, etc. I've found a fair amount of qualitative stuff essentially
saying what Ed did, but not much on exactly how it's done. I assume that by
picking winding ratios correctly, one can sum the I and Q to produce any
phase, but, I was looking for more detail on practical application,
particularly with reactive loads.
