I am building a 220v single phase in to 3 phase out rotary phase converter. I used 3 phase, 7.5hp, 3500rpm, 220V induction motor. What capacitor size & type will I use for starting and running capacitor in the circuit? My approximate total load is about 5hp. Big thx to anyone help me.

 

A good primer on building rotary phase converters as at
