I know my response is a little late, but I hope you're still watching.
Use your machine's description or code number and look for a manual here:

I had worked on Lincoln's TIG assembly line in the 1080s and have never seen
a 3 phase dedicated TIG machine; in fact, I have never seen a Linclon 3
phase transformer machine that had AC output. Are you sure it is 3 phase?
You may not need a converter.
