Jules,
You can fairly easily build a single phase to three phase converter using
another three phase motor and some capacitors. Instead of trying to describe
the setup, I located this article with a google search:

Rats, I just found out the museum's dead Sperry
drum store uses a 3
phase motor - is there any way I can run this from a single phase supply
(UK mains, ~240V, 50Hz) without things blowing up? Or am I resigned to
replacing the motor with a single phase equivalent?
I just want to get the thing spinning so that people can hear it running
- it's way beyond actually being able to restore it to working condition
again :-(
cheers
