Hi everyone hope you are all doing well .
So that's an idea I've in mind since I've discovered that Rotary phase converters do exist .
So the idea is using an arc welder trasformer as an autotrasformer .
So the primary winding has three legs .
1st leg is connected to a phase
2nd leg is common connected to neutral
3rd leg is supposed to be connected to another phase .
So using 1 and 2 , welder is connected for 230V single phase
And connecting 1 and 3 welder is connected for 400V two-phase .
So my thoughts are connecting the welder for single phase I should have
1 as input phase
2 as neutral
3 as generated phase
1 and 2 I should read 230V
And between 1 and 3 I should read roughly 380V isn't it?
Would it work to feed an idler motor ?
