OK, I thought that you were going to try to make a real phase
converter, and just supply the 3rd phase. That would make some
sense, since you can't buy one that I know of. But, now, you are
just trying to make a VFD! Thatr is totally insane. If you know
where to look, you can probably find them in dumpsters! Sell your
SCRs or Darlington transistors on eBay, and use the money to buy a
commercial VFD! It will work, all yuou have to do is connect the
wires.



Well, I hate to say it, but your opinion makes sense from a practical
POV and, quite possibly, I will do what you say -- sell my transistor
stuff and just buy a VFD whenever a need arises. (or perhaps buy a
nice .22 gun with the money)

So, I want to thank you for your frank opinion.



I have another suggestion. You seem to be interested in learning about
electronic design. Take a smaller bite. Your transistors might make
excellent power amplifiers for your stereo. This way you're lots less
likely to fry the transistors, and there will be no chance of
accidentally leaning on the 300VDC buss.
