Here we can use the three phases for any purpose we intend to.
Maximum power is 55KVA with my installation.
In my HV power supply the 2µF capacitor is plenty, without it ripple voltage
is 4%.

More immune than what?

Whilst the input current will be fairly independent of voltage, the input
power, 
and hence output power will change if the HT supply varies. That leads to a
loss 
of linearity.


If you have the ability, then using a 3 phase transformer could be
considered. 
Even without capacitors, the ripple is quite small, since unlike a single
phase 
supply, the input voltage is never zero.

I do have a 3 phase supply to my house, but it's not tempting to build an
amp 
with it, as it restricts severely where you can use it.
