I have a large (300 A, 800V rated) inductor that I can use for the boost ... it's actually bigger than the controller and *MUCH* heavier but I have it and it should work fine.

I should start on this project ... this weekend ... since I need the sump pump to run for our upcoming spring season

But I'll be loading the 3 phase code first and going through some testing to make sure all is wired correctly before I start with the experimentation.
