If you're thinking of phase conversion, then definitely read the OWWM
site.

I'd use an idler motor if I couldn't convert the motor easily, but
static phase converters (capacitor boxes) are a total PITA.


I totally agree on the point of converters being a total pain in the
proverbial. I'd much rather go for a good induction motor than use a
converter. :-)
