    Great, so I'll just go for a 240V Single Phase Input to 240V 3 Phase Output and wire as before.

    Good thing I didn't go for a 380Volt output of the motor would have took off like a jet..

    Many thanks guys.

    It also depends on what notation is used: whether they measure between phases or between a phase and the neuter.
    My house is wired for 380, which means 380 when measured from phase to phase, or 230 when measured between each phase and the neutral line.

    That is correct. The notations can be a bit ambiguous from time to time.
