As for wiring it per weartronics; I can follow exact directions very well but lack the experience to make a decision on my own regarding power supply internals especially without a schematic.
I am the person who would know. A 95 is not directly modifiable for single phase because of the buck boost transfomer in the front end, you have a roughly245V +10/-15 Volt 35 amp tube. failure to use the buck boost (aka a bypass) WILL overstress the passbank transistors and you would be replacing all 16 or 24 of them, and all of the control circuitry because the buck boost also generates current limited floating 130 VAC and 28VAC for the control and interlock circuitry. Its a linear, and you can only have about 30V across the passbank which is made of 2n6259s. As you turn up the current, in america, where we do not have ring mains, your pole pigs voltage will start to sag and the cathode voltage will drop as you turn the current up. At some point, that can cause damage if you dont watch it.
If its a whitelight, the krypton in the gas fill lowers the firing voltage enough that a switcher, such as those made by ALC, can run the tube off single phase if you have more then 218 or so AC.
They can run off single phase with a different power supply by a different manufacturer, to a watt or two or so. If you were in the Land of OZ like Weartronics with hot 245 V ring main feeds, yeah, no problems, there are ways to make PSUs that work for short periods of time. But here in the USA, its tricky and you need a oversized 220 feed and a phase converter or a specialized switcher PSU.
Bring it to selem , we will have several lexels there and plenty of spare parts and a bunch of ion qualified people and ion newbie acolytes there to learn.
And we have nearly unlimited 3P and the largest gathering of pro and hobbyist laserists this year. I'll bring a ADAT system as well, as will Dr Lava, so we can play your tapes etc.
Pangolin will be there to help with your software. And I can check out your neos for you.
Ask nicely and I might get you a schematic, its been known to take me a while, but I do send them eventually. whole manuals need photocopied, which is not that expensive, but is not cheap either.
If you let me clean your optics and walk the alignment, you'll be able to get more value for your tube, as you will know its power, it will be tuned up to its max performance, and I do that for free only two days a year, and both are at SELEM.
