Surely no-one would wish a Rapid to operate at 240v 1 ph?
Large currents will require a larger transformer.
All European Rapids will I am sure be operating with 3 phase power. Supply
cables and volt drop is dramatically smaller.
There will be inevitable extra losses when a 240v single phase supply is
boosted to 400vDC as most Rapids work at.

44KW at 240V is about 185 amps (likely more because of conversion losses and
voltage drop). That makes for very large wire.
