Well, the "easy" way to do it, would be to use a rectifier and capacitor
network to convert to DC, and some high current/voltage chopper
transistors and an output filter (maybe an isolating transformer, or
step up/down transformer depending on what you wanted for an output
voltage) - essentially on on-line 3-phase UPS without any batteries.
Of course, you could add a battery bank in the middle to give it some
UPS functionality. :)

He went to a
solid state version, because the motorized version
would not work with the motors in some new equipment he
wanted to use.
How do they work? One of the ones I was trying out used a full-time
capacitor network, but it cost waay too much and didn't have the kind
of load capacity I was looking for. The PF was pretty good, though.
