LOL! You sure are one hell of a salesman, in the Woodie Guthrie world!

Thank you very much for the 3-phase voltage explanation. Is this right: the DC link capacitor (depending on the inductance it's subjected to) just has to deal with a reasonable amount over whatever the battery pack is:

It seems smart to give yourself some headroom - (due to the inductance of the motor and even controller causing the motor controller to act like a voltage booster) - on top of the phase to phase peak voltage. Also, for a 208VAC phase to phase voltage, we are looking at a 120V peak phase voltage, right? I thought I had an reasonable understanding for 3 phase after working out the numbers for 3-phase power, but that didn't include rectification or creating 3 phase from a DC source...
