It might be possible, but not advisable...You would have to redesign the whole system starting with the power supply...

DH1 = what? How many volts? If rpm stays the same, pulley also stays the same.

Here you go. http://www.electro-tech-online.com/re-projects/100563-3-phase-converter-schematic-miller-system.html

Unless you have a 240 volt 500+ amp power service capable of supporting peak currents of around 1500 - 2000+ amps at startup you wont be able to power it!

Why do you want to go single phase for such a large motor? What do you hope to gain?
