Running a 3 phase welder on single phase?

I have a Hobart CyberTig 200 DC-S welder. It is 3 phase, however, thefan motor in it is single phase. (110V). I verified that the welderpowers up on 3 phase 240V. (after I rewired it).My question is, is it safe to run it on single phase 240V (providedthat I select the right wires to power signal transformer and fan). Ifso, what would be a safe reduced output amperage for welding. For 3phase, it is rated 200 A continuous, I believe. It would be great if that was possible, at least for small projects.I could use some 8/3 cable that I have, not worry about the phaseconverter etc.i
