Thanks for the report, Don. Another simple solution that would have worked is to use three twisted pairs, one for each phase. It's easy to make twisted pair by cutting two conductors a bit longer than you need length, clamping one end of both down to a nail or bench vise, sticking the two conductors in a drill, and running the drill a while at low speed.

Few people realize that twisting is as effective as shielding up to pretty high frequencies, and far superior to shielding at low frequencies (audio).
