I just bought a Thermo King diesel generator that puts out 460VAC, 3 phase 60 Hz.power. I want to convert it to 220 and 110 VAc. Do they make three phase 60 VAC transformers that put out single phase 220 and 110?
Thanks
Alex

It's a common problem in industry (ya got 3 and need 1). Probably the most common way of solving the problem is to use two legs at 440 and run them into a 440 to 220/110 transformer (yeah, yeah, I know, 480, 240, 110!). You can do this for each of the phase pairs (A&B, B&C, C&A) and maybe set up one set for the barn, another for the house and the last for the garage?. Just don't try to connect them in parellel because they are still 120 degrees out of phase
There are rotary phase converters available but they are costly. There are also solid state devices for this purpose, but they're made from "Unobtainium" and are priced accordingly from my experience...
