((This makes me believe that the Breezy 5.5 should be renamed as the Breezy 1.7 as unless I am confused, 1.7kw is all you are going to get out of only one winding of a 7.5hp 3 phase motor.))

I haven't bought their plans yet, but from what I can tell you are using 2 phases. If you stop and think about it, 220vac is using 2 phases(2 sets of windings). Don't know what they mean by the 3rd phase is just voltage regulation. I would guess it is something like making a phase converter, where you just energize the 3rd phase with caps.
