I wired from my 220v single phase outlet, the two legs to TWO of the 3phase motors 3 legs of input wires, leaving one open, I then wired my grinders motor wires to all 3 of the first motors wires so the grinder had 3 legs of input. With the breaker off, I wrapped a wire around the first motors shaft several times, I pulled it, causing it to rotate quickly and turned on the breaker, the first motor is now running off the single phase input, also it is now generating the 3rd leg of power needed to run the grinder motor, turn the grinder on, wallah
If you, attempt this, check the voltage of each leg, I added run capacitors to the first two legs to balance it out because the 3rd leg that was generated was about 244v. My grinders motor was getting hot from the unbalanced input power, I used 25uf caps, it was close enough until I got my vfd
One more thing, the generated power is only gonna be about 2/3rds of the first motors power rating, in my case it was a 1.5hp motor, I needed 3/4hp for the grinder, it ran great
