I tried boosting the 3-ph voltage, but starting with crap usually means ending with crap.
Ran out of time before I had the transformer figured out for a decent match. The thing has maybe 60 wires.

I'm not clear on the scheme you are talking about.  It almost sounds like a Delta-Y switch?

I think most mentioned increases in efficiency are when transmitting high voltage 3 phase a long distance, then stepping it down near the batteries.  Less line losses.
