Interestingly, RP06's do not use three phase motors. They use a 220
motor (two phases). The other drives some of the card cage logic for
the Massbus (DCL adapter?).
You can break the RP04-II/RP05/RP06 out to run on 220.
The RP04 was a true three phase motor driven item.

Back on the three phase issue, many shops use
another
3phase induction motor method to create needed three phases.
Some don't even use a starting capacitor. They simple
spin the motor with a pull rope and switch on the current.
I'm definitely not going to try *that* approach with an RP06. :-)
