Yes it is, with one exception that I think you've found, from your
description. There is a 3-phase transformer and power supply that runs
the power distribution box relays and such. But the actual meat of the
thing is run off 115 (all phase-to-neutral when run on 120/208 Y). I was
planning to run mine from split-phase residential 240v, with maybe 4
supplies on one side, 2 on the other, and the Unibus expansion cabinet and
some drives on the side with 2.

Good luck in getting it running.
