Gordon,
You explanation makes perfect sense but it does not explain where we
would get a third pahse from if we need 3 phase power. Any ideas?

I thought it was intuitive that you would use an up and down 120 from
the northern hemisphere, a down and up version from below the equator
plus one more (from either hemisphere) as long as you don't activate
it on a Tuesday. Does that explain it better?
