RP06 disks are wired for three-phase but only use two of the three phases.
From the wiring diagram it looks like you can jumper the power distribution
for three-phase delta, set the input for the appropriate voltage, and
connect the drive to a split-phase 120/240 power panel. I am going to give
this a try soon.
