    Typically an alternator output diode is there to prevent the battery from draining through the alternator windings.

    Ideally youd want a transformer that has adjustable input taps (for voltage correction) and somethint you can retap the secondary on (this way you could do a double delta or low zigzag)

    Why not 9 phase? (Yes I know its not a thing) Photo is a glimpse of the stupidity I deal with at work. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    You can use 2 legs (208 is usually fine for 240 loads) and wire a light or heater to the 3rd leg (few hundred watts is better than nothing). The first one I got was a 004, which is on the big side for my application, but like you it came down to what was available and i didnt have to drive...

    Another thing to consider, if you manage to rework the head, you need to see what the control system will do with a configuration it was never designed to work with. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Anything is possible with enough effort. The head does have t10 t11 and t12 internally bonded, I imagine it wouldnt be too difficult to rework them (we did this at work with another head that was improperly tapped when rewound). It all comes down to your skill level and the effort you want to...
