I designed and sold some mobile equipment about 15 years ago that the
Telephone Co on Colorado wanted to power three phase 3 hp manhole water
pumps. I used a rotary converter to convert a portion of the output from a
7.5 KW engine generator to power the 3-phase pump. It worked great. They
also could use the regular single phase blowers and tools etc. I don't
remember where I got the converter but I looked like a big motor and was
expensive. It was built for duty on a center pivot irrigation system. It
was very durable and handled heavy starting losds with no problem.
