Please explain how it is used without the fill-in. Two phase motors? Note that three phase is completely different from two phase. The phases are 120 degrees apart in 3 phase (with a common reference which requires 3 wires) whereas 2 phase is 90 degrees apart (also requiring 3 wires), even according to you. Why would they use a Scott-T when 3 phase is already available. Pretty stupid -- just like you. If you don't believe me, set up a simple LTSpice schematic and run it. It will teach you things you obviously do not know.
