Building a Phase Converter - Part 1

This is part one of a three video series on building a phase converter.  This part is the heart of the subject.  I will lay out the entire converter on a large sheet of plywood so you can easily see how I put things together.  We will select the correct capacitors and test run the converter under load.

Part 2 and 3 will be about adding safety and convenience items, then mounting it all in an enclosure and wiring it up in the shop.

Dec2018 - I have had a couple of inquiries about the start capacitor:  It is a 216-259mfd 330vac cap.  ~P
