> The 3-phase looks more like obfuscation to me. Gee .. I'd better take my Electric clothes dryer in for de-obfuscating. And there I was thinking it was trapped lint. You want lots of power, you go straight to three-phase. This is a test rig he's using, so of course it's over-engineered. When you've finished the design and find you don't need all that power then you can go back to single-phase for the production version. You really think that (after building a 3-phase controller-triac test rig) that he should redesign it just for the March test? No, you just have the controller activate one of the triacs instead of all three.
