Goeff,
Get three 35A Full Wave bridge rectifiers. Heat 
sink the crap out of them as Hugh suggests. A 
4"x4" sink per rectifier is not too much. Jumper 
(solder) across the two ac terminals (marked with 
a " ~ ") and connect that to one of your 3ø wires 
from the machine. If you are going to have 
shorting switch(es), the ac side is where to do 
it.
Red wire out of the + terminal, white out of the 
- terminal. Parallel all the reds together and 
all the whites together.
FUSE!
Done.
Todd's capacitor idea is good. You will use three 
on the ac input side. I've got a schematic of how 
running around here somewhere. I used 145-174 MFD 
220vac jobs on my old Whisper 1000. That old, 
bearded, retired, wind god Mick Sagrillo turned 
me onto the capacitor thing, lest you think I've 
got more brain cells left than there really are.
Good Luck, bob-O
