Thanks Bjarney, I had no idea you could do that to that type transformer.
I appreciate your input on this dilema I am having. The prices I got from suppliers for a 3kva is about the same price as a 15 or 30kva 3phase transformer.
However, I found a reconditioned GE 120-460 single phase 3 kva from Midwest for $100.

Seems like the most economical way for now.
Any input on this?
