Not saying the "pieces effect" "matters", but is it possible that this stems from using 1-phase power instead of the designed-for 3-phase?  After all, the 1-phase is not merely "less power", but it also changes the way the power is delivered.  Too ba...

"Meanwhile, I suppose we mostly tend to think of "phase" as a 180 proposition, +/-, either/or." Not I, sir! Phase is a matter of degrees. Polarity is a total flip, which is why it's a far better word for the two conditions under discussion.So let's p...
