[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 533389, member: 6969"] No, bi phase will give you 480V not 415. Bi Phase usually means two tappings from a single phase transformer, so the 2 phases are 180 degrees apart, not 120. If you can't get a proper 3 phase supply, it is probably better looking at buying a new single phase motor for whatever machinery you have that needs 3 phase, or a proper single phase in, 3 phase out variable speed drive.
